Tottenham vs Manchester City Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 26th January 2024

Tottenham enjoy home advantage, when visitors Manchester City swing by on Friday for a clash in the FA Cup. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

We are bound to see an exciting game on Friday as both Tottenham and Manchester City are looking to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Manchester City have the craziest history at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as they have simply never won here. It is a statistic which makes sense in no universe that Spurs have five home wins on the bounce against City, who didn't score a single goal in the process.

Their latest encounter in the FA Cup was a belter of a game, which finished with a 3-4 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest on Friday.

Tottenham vs Manchester City Prediction

Tottenham Form

In their last three matches, Tottenham won 3-1 and 1-0 against first Bournemouth then Burnley, before drawing 2-2 against Manchester United. Tottenham showed little mercy in their past six matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 14 times, while letting in eight themselves.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Sheffield United, who were defeated by 2-0. Then, Huddersfield got outclassed in a 5-0 win, before beating Newcastle by 2-3. In their last six FA Cup away matches, Manchester City claimed a full handful of five wins. They've drawn none but in stead lost once, scoring 15 whilst conceding three times.

Manchester City are favoured by the bookmakers, and while we are certain, Tottenham is going to put up a fight, we believe the visitors will prevail in the end.

Tottenham vs Manchester City Team News

Tottenham are sweating on the fitness of no less than six players before their match on Friday. Tottenham have to alter their line-up, as both Heung-Min Son, Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Yves Bissouma get a day in the shade.

Ben Davies, Giovani Lo Celso, Alejo Veliz, James Maddison, Manor Solomon and Alfie Whiteman are all absent from the Tottenham squad that faces Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

More than a handful of players could be forced out of the next match for Manchester City, who are looking at seven players nursing various problems.

Names like Ederson, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Erling Haaland, Mateo Kovacic, Jack Grealish and Zack Steffen most likely won't be deemed fit enough to play Tottenham.
