The most anticipated match of the Premier League 22nd round will see Manchester City host the red hot Tottenham Hotspur.
Before last round Manchester City looked to be in good form, getting results and winning 5 out of 6 matches in all competitions. However, fact was that City wasn`t playing well at all, they weren`t creating chances and they were very lucky to edge most of those matches. The results were papering over the cracks, but those cracks were finally exposed by Everton in a 4-0 trashing which sent City out of the Top 4.
Tottenham is the most in form team in the Premier League right now, winning 7 matches in a row in all competitions, 6 of them by a form of handicap. They beat Chelsea 2-0 a few weeks ago and they are on the back of a 4-0 home win against West Brom. The West Brom game looked like a tricky one against an opponent which defends well against the big sides, but Tottenham simply blew them out of the park, proving (again) they are the real deal.

Man City will be decimated yet again in the midfield area, where they will miss Fernandinho, Gundogan and probably Fernando as well. Kompany is still out. Tottenham will have to do without Vertonghen and Lamela.
Manchester City: Bravo – Sagna, Otamendi, Stones, Clichy – Toure, Kolarov – Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling – Aguero
Tottenham: Loris – Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Rose – Wanyama, Dembele – Sissoko, Alli, Eriksen – Kane
City will have to improvise yet again in center midfield, where they continue to have big problems with injuries. They are missing their 3 best players in that area, which is the most important on the pitch and that is a very difficult thing to overcome. Everton ruined them because of that last week and Spurs might do the same. Tottenham is brilliant and midfield and can be deadly on counters when they need to play that game, so the matchup seems to be in their favour here.
These two teams are in opposite situations right now, with City struggling and Tottenham playing the best football in the Premier league. Spurs are winning game after game in convincing fashion and there`s just no sign of slowing down. I think they will capitalize on Man City’s poor form and on their injuries in midfield.
My tip is Tottenham +0,5 handicap, but if you want to go for more value I can`t say that Tottenham draw no bet would be a bad choice. I believe form and the matchup in midfield will help Spurs win, or at least get a draw. Prediction: Manchester City – Tottenham 1-2.
