Tottenham vs Man City Prediction: Lineups, Odds and Stats

*Odds are subject to change.

Tottenham host Man City in matchweek 24 of the Premier League (PL) season.

Spurs have struggled this season, and Man City swing from excellent to average. So, both teams have much to prove.

The action starts at 4:30 pm on Sunday, 1st February 2026, from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Robert Jones takes the referee’s whistle.

Spurs vs Man City Match Prediction

My main prediction is for Man City to win. Spurs’ dismal home record spells trouble against City’s excellent away form.

Recent head-to-head stats also suggest both teams to score “no” (2.25 with Betfred). Man City boast the PL’s second-best backline, conceding only 21 goals, including ten clean sheets.

But based on the last ten H2Hs, I take a chance on over 3.5 goals (2.50 at Bet365). Tottenham tend to produce chaotic home performances, and City have hit 3+ goals 11 times in 2025-26.

What are the Latest News from Tottenham?

Tottenham lie fourteenth in the PL standings (W7 D7 L9) after 23 league games.

After a tough start to 2026 with three defeats in five games, Spurs won two of their last three. Wednesday’s 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt followed up a point at Burnley and a 2-0 triumph at Dortmund. Those positive results broke a three-match losing streak, as Spurs lost 2-1 at home to West Ham and Aston Villa and 3-2 at Bournemouth.

Only Wolves have a worse PL home record than Tottenham (W2 D3 L6). The Lilywhites have scored just 13 times in 11 PL home games.

Spurs are buoyed by their automatic passage into the Champions League last 16 and Dominic Solanke’s recent return from injury.

Tottenham’s major injuries are James Maddison (ACL), Lucas Bergvall and Ben Davies (both ankle), and Rodrigo Bentancur (hamstring). Others out include Pedro Porro (muscle injury), Richarlison (hamstring), Mohammed Kudus (muscle injury), Pedro Porro (hamstring), and Dejan Kulusevski (knee). Defender Micky van de Ven should return from a knock. Tottenham have no suspensions for Sunday’s clash with Man City.

Player in Focus

Dominic Solanke scored against Frankfurt and Dortmund in recent games, and he could unsettle City’s injury-hit defence. Solanke 1+ shots on target is 1.82.

What is the Mood Around Man City?

Man City are second in the Premiership table with 46 points from 23 matches (W14 D4 L5), four points behind long-time leaders Arsenal. City are the PL’s highest scorers with 47 goals – more than two per game.

In a mixed 2026 so far, City are coming off a 2-0 home win over Galatasaray to reach the Champions League knockout phase. Back-to-back away defeats to Bodo/Glimt (3-1) and Man United (2-0) had overshadowed cup wins over Newcastle (2-0) and Exeter (10-1). City had started 2026 with three league draws in a row against Brighton, Chelsea, and Sunderland.

The Cityzens are formidable at home in the league (W9 D2 L1). Yet, they’ve still secured 17 points away from Manchester (W5 D2 L4), scoring 18 times. Boss Pep Guardiola will be confident of winning at Tottenham to continue his side’s title charge.

Man City’s injuries are Ruben Dias (hamstring), Josko Gvardiol (broken leg), Mateo Kovacic (heel), Savinho (knock), John Stones (thigh), and Oscar Bobb (hamstring). Jeremy Doku is out after picking up a calf injury against Galatasaray. No Man City players are suspended.

Player in Focus

Phil Foden is enjoying a fruitful campaign with 7 PL goals and two assists to his name. The England international could cause havoc for Tottenham’s defence. Foden anytime goalscorer is 3.20.
