Manchester City has lost four of their last five Premier League games against Tottenham (1W, 0D, & 4L) and they have been favorites in all cases. The same principle applies for this fixture, as City are the clear favorites, however, Spurs seem to have the City antidote.
Regardless of Spurs’ recent domination in this fixture, we have gone a bit cautious with this option, as we believe the best case scenario for City is winning by a one-goal margin.
