An exciting clash awaits as defending Premier League champions Manchester City host Tottenham Hotspur in their next match on Saturday.
The 2-1 loss to Brighton in their last Premier League match marked the first time Pep Guardiola has lost four straight games in a row and the Manchester City boss will look to get out of this slump as his side sit second on the league table, five points behind first-placed Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur hit a rough patch just before the international break, with their shock 2-1 loss to underdogs Ipswich Town their second consecutive defeat across all competitions.

Man City vs. Tottenham lineups, team news
Rodri and Oscar Bobb are long-term absentees for Manchester City. The hosts could also come into this game without Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, and John Stones.
Phil Foden withdrew from international duty for England due to a minor injury but should recover in time to feature in this game. Erling Haaland scored four goals for Norway during this international break and will hope to replicate that form when he leads Manchester City’s attack.
Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol, Lewis — Gundogan, Kovacic — Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho — Haaland.
Injured: Rodri, Bobb, Grealish (doubt), Dias (doubt), Stones (doubt)
Suspended: None.
Rodrigo Bentacur has been handed a seven-game suspension following his controversial statements towards skipper Heung-min Son in an interview.
Spurs will be hoping Micky van de Ven is fit to play this game after missing the last two due to injury, but he is likely to be sidelined for this one too. Cristian Romero is also a doubt after picking up a knock for Argentina.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie — Kulusekvski, Bissouma, Sarr — Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Injured: Van de Ven, Odobert, Romero (doubt)
Suspended: Bentacur (seven games)
Man City vs. Tottenham Prediction
This will be a tough match for Guardiola to turn City’s fortunes. Man City have only won three of their last 10 league games against Tottenham.
While Man City haven’t been as ruthless in attack in recent weeks, Tottenham’s high line may give them the perfect opportunity to find their killer instinct. Spurs are deadly on the counter and will look to exploit the host’s defensive vulnerabilities.
This game will likely be a goal-fest, with Man City narrowly coming out as victors.
- Prediction: Man City 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
