class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both Spurs and Guardiola's men are on lengthy unbeaten runs and our tipster is expecting a tight game when they meet in north London on Saturday<\/p>\n
<\/head><\/p>\nPep Guardiola will be hoping to celebrate signing a contract extension in style when his Manchester City side travel to Tottenham on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Catalan has extended his stay at the club by another two years despite a below-par start to the season which has seen City win only three of their seven Premier League games.<\/p>\n
Spurs are on a three-match winning run in the competition and, having won this exact fixture 2-0 last term, Jose Mourinho will fancy his team\u2019s chances of extending that sequence with another three points.<\/p>\n
Tottenham vs Manchester City Latest Odds<\/p>\n
Despite that, bet365 make Spurs 3\/1 (4.0) outsiders to move top of the table for at least a couple of hours by winning this one.<\/p>\n
City are just 4\/5 (1.80) to pick up their fourth victory of the campaign and close the gap on their hosts to just two points.<\/p>\n
Only one of the last eight meetings between Spurs and City have ended in a draw and bet365 go 3\/1 (4.0) that they share the points this time around.<\/p>\n
Tottenham vs Manchester City Team News<\/p>\n
Mourinho will be without Matt Doherty, who tested positive for coronavirus, whilst Steven Bergwijn, Tanguy Ndombele and Erik Lamela are all injured.<\/p>\n
Nathan Ake, Benjamin Mendy and Fernandinho are all unlikely to feature but Sergio Aguero could return after almost a month out. Raheem Sterling faces a late fitness test after injuring his calf on international duty.<\/p>\n
Tottenham vs Manchester City Preview<\/p>\n
Tottenham have tempered since their somewhat erratic start saw them win just two of their first five games, during which time they scored 15 goals but conceded eight and blew a 3-0 lead at home to West Ham with just eight minutes left.<\/p>\n
Their most recent three fixtures have all been single-goal victories against bottom-half teams and, although Mourinho will be encouraged by the two clean sheets kept in that time, the four strikes may be a cause for concern.<\/p>\n
At the very least, Spurs will back themselves to keep things tight considering three of City\u2019s last five games have ended 1-1 whilst the other two have been won 1-0 by Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Tottenham vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions<\/p>\n
With both teams struggling going forward but holding firm at the back, the 11\/8 (2.38) on under 2.5 goals looks excellent value for punters ahead of this Premier League clash.<\/p>\n
