Manchester City hosts Tottenham in round 24 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 13th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
Manchester City is confidently going in the first place. Now only Pep Guardiola recalls a hard start in the current draw. The Catalan recently admitted that in the fall, when his players were 12th, he was thinking about the chances to rise to the Europa League zone. And now, fifteen rounds before the end of the season, the Citizens are outranking their nearest competitors by five points. Moreover, Man City played one game less than its pursuers. In principle, such a handicap is far from critical for Albion. But the advantage is only growing: now the grandee has 10 victories in a row and a streak of 14 meetings without defeats. The strengthening of the defense became a recipe for such success - Salah's goal from the penalty spot was only 2nd in 10 games. But that didn't stop the Citizens from hammering Liverpool at Anfield (1:4). Yes, Alisson made two blunders. But don’t forget that Gundogan did not score a penalty before the break.

Tottenham showed stability under Pochettino. Yes, Mauricio did not manage to win trophies, but the team consistently finished in the top four, and reaching the Champions League final was the peak. But the Argentinean was fired after a series of mistakes, and the management invited Jose Mourinho. The Special One didn’t work miracles straight away, and his team was knocked out from all tournaments. In the Premier League, the Spurs take a place that gave the right to play only in the Europa League. Obviously, now the Portuguese needs to give the result. Of course, he can still win the cup or even the Europa League. However, the English fans value their championship above all else. But the results of Tottenham are too unstable. The team managed to break the streak of three defeats in a row only in the last round. Kane returned on the pitch and made the game together with Son - just like during a successful start in the Premier League (both scored a goal each). But the Spurs played against West Bromwich, the weakest team in the division this winter. Now they will have to face the strongest club in the Premier League.
After joining Tottenham, Jose Mourinho won both matches against Manchester City in 2020 (with the same 2-0 score). Truth be told, both meetings were held in London. Now the bookmakers are sure that Manchester City will win. But it is worth remembering that the Citizens have changed their style and began to play pragmatically. Therefore, we will bet on Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
