Tottenham have a lot to make up for in front of their own fans. It has won only one of the last five rounds and is already six points behind the Top 4 from sixth place. That’s why, before a possible game of the season, he reached for a change in the coaching position.
Manchester, on the other hand, managed to respond to their Europa League elimination by advancing past Brighton to the FA Cup final. That fourth place in the league table has a five-point lead over fifth-placed Aston Villa and three games to spare.
Tottenham’s key figures
Spurs rely on Harry Kane, the top scorer in England’s history has netted 26 goals and assisted five times. Heung Min Son is finally coming into his own, now on 12 shots and four assists.
Manchester City’s key figures
Although Marcus Rashford has stuck around a bit in recent weeks, a season’s record of 28+10 at club level alone is undoubtedly admirable.
The summer signing named Casemiro is not only extremely valid defensively, in addition to scoring five times and assisting seven times.
Betting tip
Tottenham may not be working defensively, but the offense is going well thanks to the excellent Kane in particular. With 58 shots, it has the league’s fourth best attack. He has struck more than once in four of the past six contests.
Moreover, the Red Devils are not doing well away from home, winning only two of their last seven games away from Old Trafford. For example, they got a seven from Liverpool a month ago, a two from Newcastle, with David de Gea still working his magic.
Considering the Kane factor, the improving form of Son, the calmness in the cabin for a long time after the sacking of the rest of Antonio Conte’s team, and United’s away woes, Spurs can be expected not to lose at home.
