Manchester City vs Tottenham Match Preview – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 23/11/2024
Manchester City vs Tottenham Premier League Prediction Match Details
Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City resume their title defense on home turf at the Etihad Stadium this weekend in a late kickoff. Will Spurs capitalize on City’s losing streak in the clash?
Manchester City Preview & Form
The defending champions, before the international break, suffered some significant hits in their pursuit of a record-breaking fifth consecutive Premier League crown. The Citizens experienced their worst run of form as they ended the November break with four consecutive defeats across all competitions, including a shocking Carabao Cup exit, two defeats in the Premier League, and a heavy Champions League defeat. The negative run marks the first time in Guardiola’s managerial career that he has encountered such a losing streak, and it’s City’s longest losing run since 2006. The last time out in the league, Pep Guardiola’s men suffered a dramatic 2-1 defeat against Brighton in a game the Citizens struggled to show balance both offensive and defensive. Currently, the recent woeful performance saw City slip from the first position to second in the league standings, five points adrift of Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola, who recently triggered a one-year clause at Manchester City, will be hoping the international break will help put an end to their woeful form. However, the Citizens have a strong home record where they have remained unbeaten in the Premier League since 2022.
Tottenham Preview & Form
Tottenham is coming into this game on the back of two disappointing consecutive losses in the Europa League and the Premier League, leaving their head coach, Ange Postecoglou, frustrated in his hope of winning silverware in his second season at the club. The Spurs have blown hot and cold in the new campaign, but they recently struggled on their trip to Turkey in the Europa League, where they were beaten 3-2 by Galatasaray. They followed up the defeat with another shocking defeat against the newly promoted boys as Ipswich Town ended their 22-year wait for a Premier League victory with a 2-1 over Tottenham. The North London club currently sits 10th in the league table with 16 points from 11 opening games.
Ange Postecoglou’s men are experiencing woeful form in their recent trip games as they have lost each of their last three games across all competitions. However, they have been strong offensively, having scored at least two goals in five of their last six away games.

Manchester City have looked so vulnerable in their defensive duty since Rodri suffered a season-long injury, and we believe Tottenham have a good frontline that will put them in a big test. Therefore, we predict a high-scoring result.
