Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition – Barclays Premier League
Stadium – Etihad Stadium
Date: 20th April 2019
Kick-off time – 12:30 GMT
Manchester City and Tottenham meet again in the space of four days after the Lilywhites eliminated the Cityzens from the Champions League at the quarterfinal stage.
City were rivaled for most of the two-legged quarterfinal and their fans will be looking for a reaction in this game as they look to win the Premier League title.
City are behind Liverpool by two points at the moment although they have a game in hand on the Reds.
They can tell from their last two matches in Europe that Tottenham are more than capable of causing them problems. With the race for the top four battle still very hot, Spurs will want to get at least a share of the points in this game.
Liverpool don’t have any other big teams to face while Manchester City face Tottenham and Manchester United in their remaining five games so we expect them to come out here hungry to get quick revenge.
The pressure is on City at the moment but Pep Guardiola’s side has shown that they can bounce back from defeat quickly.
City have won their last 9 league games on the trot.
Tottenham have struggled on the road in recent times and they come here having lost their last five away league games.
Bookmakers have priced Man City up as extremely short-priced favourites to come out on top in this game and regain the lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Tottenham will start this game as huge outsiders after an impressive display midweek and with something to play for, they could be overpriced.
Goal markets point to a thrilling game as over 2.5 goals is trading strongly odds-on while Sergio Aguero is clear favourite to score the opening goal of the game.
