Team Analysis
Tottenham has shown a mixed bag of results under Ange Postecoglou, with three losses and seven wins in their last ten matches. A recent defeat to Crystal Palace highlighted some tactical challenges. However, Tottenham displayed resilience in their last League Cup match, coming from behind to win against Coventry. Despite some inconsistencies, Spurs have maintained competitive performances against strong opponents.

Manchester City continues to demonstrate their dominance under Pep Guardiola, unbeaten in their last five matches and consistently scoring goals. While their recent victories have been narrow, City manages to secure crucial wins, such as their 1-0 victory over Southampton. City's squad rotation has been effective in maintaining performance levels across competitions, with Erling Haaland continuing to be a key player.

Head-to-Head
Manchester City has recently broken their streak at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, securing victories in both the FA Cup and Premier League last season. This marks a shift in their fortunes against Spurs at this venue, giving them a psychological edge.

Prediction
The upcoming match is expected to be tightly contested, with both teams likely to play cautiously. The prediction leans towards a low-scoring affair, with under 3.5 goals anticipated. Given both teams' affinity for corners, a total of over 9.5 corners is also expected. The match might end in a draw, with a predicted scoreline of 1-1, as both teams may prioritize keeping their main players fresh for more prestigious competitions.

Pick: Under 3.5 goals
