Harry Kane determined to end goal drought with Spurs as Manchester City
In the past, a trip to Tottenham wouldn’t be something many Manchester City fans would look forward to.
Sergio Aguero has scored eight goals in four appearances against Tottenham, including five in two games last season.
Jose Mourinho has never won a Premier League match at St James’ Park – but I think that will all change on Saturday. Dier has been in exceptional form this season (4.2 tackles per match, 7th-best in the league) and is a crucial shield in front of the Jan Vertonghen/Toby Alderweireld partnership that has kept three successive clean sheets. Stoke are continuing their habit from last term where they racked up 62.2 per cent of their league goals in the first half of matches – one of the highest proportions in the division – while visitors Bournemouth are the only side to have netted three goals inside the first quarter of an hour so far.
The first game of the English Premier League fixture will be the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City. Now we need to prepare for City.
Bryan A.: Aguero is very good and he always destroys Spurs. It will not be easy, but we reckon that Pellegrini and co will get their league season back on track and put their West Ham disappointments to one side.
“We can play face-to-face with them“.
Although premature to label him as influential as the tried and tested Silva in shaping Man City’s attack, there was plenty to like about De Bruyne’s interpretation.
Skipjack: 2-1 City.
City will hope for a positive result, but will this happen? I like how well Spurs are playing right now, but I don’t feel confident about this match at all, even at home. 3-1 City.
Manchester City make the trip to Spurs after being slapped with a dose of reality following last Saturday’s defeat to the Hammers. Now’s as good a chance to take something off of them as any. 2-1 Spurs.
If the Spurs are to keep Man City’s high-powered attack in check, their defense has to come up big.
Norwich have struggled to defend at close quarters so far this season, as evidenced by the four goals they have conceded from inside their six-yard box: the most of any top-flight side. “That’s why it was important to win the game and important to win in the way we played”, he added.
Anthony Martial may not turn out to be the new Thierry Henry but the teenage striker is proving to be a much better Old Trafford acquisition than last season’s flops, Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria. Of the “more of” variety.
At Pinnacle Sports, City is presently -105 with Spurs +308 and the Draw +281. With a few key players injured, and others logging an incredible amount of minutes within the last week, this fixture is tough.
Going into this matchup, the Spurts have had back-to-back wins.
