Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Manchester City will be keen to bounce back from their disappointing Champions League exit when they travel to Wembley to take on Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's Premier League clash.

Pep Guardiola's men crashed out of Europe after losing both matches in an aggregate 5-1 drubbing by Liverpool, with last weekend's Manchester derby defeat making it three losses in a row.

Latest Odds

Having run out emphatic 4-1 winners in December's reverse encounter against this opposition, City are available at 6/4 (2.50) with bet365 to return to winning ways with a victory here.

However, Spurs are unbeaten in 14 Premier League fixtures, and can be backed at 8/5 (2.60) to maintain that form by coming out on top for the seventh consecutive league game.

Just one of the last 14 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but there are odds of 13/5 (3.60) on offer on them playing out a stalemate in this one.

Team News

Mauricio Pochettino has a full squad to choose from aside from Harry Winks and Kyle Walker-Peters, although Kieran Trippier may miss out due to fatigue.

Fernandinho is suspended after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season against Manchester United, while Benjamin Mendy remains injured and John Stones is a doubt due to a groin issue.

Sergio Aguero was ruled out on Friday afternoon.

Late drama

After three demoralising defeats, the Citizens will be eager to return to the form that has made them by far the best team in England this campaign.

However, they may have to remain patient when they take on a home side that has only conceded five first-half goals in 24 games in front of their own fans this season.

With Guardiola's men having conceded prior to the break in just two of their previous 16 league games themselves, fans seem unlikely to see too much action unfold in the opening 45 minutes at Wembley.

Predictions

Instead, odds of 20/21 (1.95) are well worth backing on the majority of goals being scored in the second half for the fifth time in six meetings between Tottenham and Manchester City.
