Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur: Preview and Prediction

Sunday 11^th November 13:30: Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur – Verdict: Manchester City 8/13

After watching Ajax upstage Manchester City in the first-half of their mid-week fixture with a team that cost less than a tenth of the price, Spurs will be visiting the Etihad to face a dejected team licking wounds – which is what they’ve been doing since getting trounced by Wigan.

          Jermain Defoe stormed down the tunnel away from Andre Villas Boas when he was substituted on Saturday – which makes us wonder if he’s forgotten being the least favoured forward by Redknapp not so long ago. 

          Elderly couples prefer to spend less time sitting on benches than Adebayor has lately and he’s been undoubtedly unsettled by his lack of time playing – something that some City players can relate to.  He has something to prove and against his former club he could shine if he’s given the opportunity.

          We expect Manchester City to be able to break Tottenham down and although we feel they’re the safer backing – it could be a very tense game.
