Tottenham will top Manchester City today

Tottenham travel to the Etihad to take on Manchester City today in one of the Premier League’s most intriguing fixtures of the season. Pep Guardiola’s side are struggling to rebound from a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Everton while Spurs just want to keep their positive momentum going. Expect a tense, difficult encounter for both sides.

In the end, back Mauricio Pochettino’s side to get the job done. City will definitely play better football than they have lately, but it still won’t be enough to measure up to Spurs.

That might surprise some fans given the match’s venue. Playing at home will definitely boost Guardiola’s side, but Tottenham have played well on the road this year as well. City should come out with guns blazing, but look for Spurs to weather the early storm and gradually assert their control on the match.

At the very least, it should be an attractive match for neutrals. Both Guardiola and Pochettino employ stylish brands of football that garner admiration from fans far and wide. Read on to discover why Tottenham will win the stylish encounter and further add to their title-contending credentials.
