Thursday afternoon brings a tantalizing Premier League affair at the Etihad as Man City locks horns with a struggling Tottenham side. The kick-off is scheduled for 3 PM ET. Find the Man City vs Tottenham odds below.

The Cityzens sit eight points back of league leaders Arsenal with a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United last weekend, conceding two goals in the final 15 minutes. Spurs were also unsuccessful in their most recent fixture, losing 2-0 to the Gunners in the always-intense North London Derby.

City is heavily favored at -290 Premier League odds on Thursday for an implied win probability of 74.36%. Tottenham comes back at +750. That’s a mere 11.76% chance of coming out victorious.

Spurs have actually beaten Man City in two straight meetings, 1-0 and 3-2 last term.

Over/Under & Spread

The total is set at 2.5 goals here with -190 odds for the over and +150 odds for the under in the Manchester City vs Tottenham odds. The over has only been hit in one of the last three matches between the two.

Man City vs Tottenham Preview

While the Citizens remain in second place in the table, it’s not exactly acceptable for a club with such big aspirations. Pep Guardiola himself said last week after the Man United loss that his team cannot win the title, basically saying that City’s focus will shift to the Champions League. Considering the way Arsenal is playing, it’s hard to imagine the reigning champs closing an eight-point gap. But, there is still loads of time left in the campaign.

Guardiola’s men controlled 70% of the ball against the Red Devils but struggled immensely to create any chances in the final third. Their only shot on target was Jack Grealish’s lone goal. Erling Haaland hasn’t netted in three games now and the Sky Blues certainly need him to produce here. Man City comes in losing back-to-back fixtures as well, getting shocked by Southampton in the League Cup just days before falling to their city rivals.

After a respectable start to the campaign, Spurs aren’t playing the best football since the World Cup break ended. They’ve only won twice in their last five outings and one of those victories was against Portsmouth in the FA Cup. During this span, the Lilywhites tied Brentford while losing to Aston Villa and the Gunners.

Tottenham did have a solid track record in the North London Derby prior to Sunday’s dismal performance. Antonio Conte’s squad came out extremely flat in the first half as per usual and Arsenal punished them, with Hugo Lloris gifting the visitors the first goal before Martin Odegaard scored a stunner from outside the box. Spurs had their opportunities up top but showed absolutely no clinical abilities. They’re now sitting in fifth, five points behind United, who hold the final UCL spot at the moment.

Man City vs Tottenham Prediction

Despite Spurs doing the double against City in 2021-22, I have a tough time believing the hosts will lose a third consecutive game, especially at the Etihad. However, Tottenham has scored nine goals in their last three away league games. Both teams will score, but Man City prevails in our Man City vs Tottenham picks.
