Tottenham Hotspur host top-four-chasing Manchester City in a huge Premier League clash.
Victory will see Tottenham stay 12th in the table, whilst Man City will climb back up to fourth with a win.
Team News
Timo Werner could return for Tottenham following his recovery from a hamstring injury which had sidelined him in recent weeks.
Richarlison (calf), Mickey van de Ven (fitness), Radu Dragusin (ACL), Cristian Romero (quad) and Dominic Solanke (knee) remain absent.
Man City could again be without Erling Haaland after the Norwegian missed their defeat to Liverpool due to a knee injury.
Oscar Bobb (fitness), Manuel Akanji (muscle), John Stones (thigh) and Rodri (knee) remain ruled out.
When is Kick-Off?
Tottenham host Man City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday 26 February at 7:30pm GMT, live on TNT Sports 2 in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Tottenham have claimed seven points in their last five league meetings against Man City (W2, D1, L2).
- Man City have won one of their last five league visits to Tottenham (W1, L4).
- Spurs have kept clean sheets in four of their last five league matches at home to Man City.
- 18 of Tottenham’s 53 league goals this season have been scored by Brennan Johnson and James Maddison, who have both scored nine goals apiece.
- No Man City player has produced more league assists this season than Savinho (7).
Prediction
Last weekend’s win at Ipswich was probably the most clinical and energetic that Tottenham have been since the mid-December demolition job at Southampton, even though they did ride their luck at the start but the whole performance surely has given them belief coming into this game.
Man City on the other hand were dominant on the ball but lacked much end product of any clear note in their defeat to Liverpool, especially without Haaland and if he isn’t fit enough then they could well need a huge defensive effort to stop Spurs.
Tottenham’s new home also hasn’t exactly been kind to City apart from twice last season in all competitions and based on recent performances, I fancy the hosts to take the win.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Man City
Result: Tottenham 0-1 Man City
