Tottenham vs Man City: Prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, h2h results, Premier League odds

Tottenham host Manchester City this evening looking to go top of the Premier League as Jose Mourinho faces off against old rival Pep Guardiola.

Spurs went top for a couple of hours before the international break with their hard-fought win at West Brom and another victory at home will send them into first spot overnight.

Mourinho masterminded a win over Guardiola when these two teams met in February, but even the Spurs manager will likely admit that his team rode their luck that day.

Tottenham vs Manchester City is scheduled for a 5:30pm GMT kick-off today (Saturday, November 21, 2020).

The match will be held behind closed doors at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to Government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Man City

This is Tottenham’s toughest test so far and the start of a stern run of fixtures. City have been poor so far but know how to turn it on against the league’s better sides - drawing with Liverpool and beating Wolves and Arsenal.

Spurs will likely rely on the counterattack, but may not have the defence to shut out City. An entertaining draw is our shout.

Expert view: Alan Smith

Spurs are grinding out wins in classic Jose Mourinho style. The last three on the bounce won’t be remembered for too much polished play, but they will have pleased a manager looking for the kind of winning mentality that hasn’t always been rife in this part of north London.

On this point, beating City, of course, would do no harm at all. It would infuse great belief into a team that faces Chelsea and Arsenal next. All eyes on this one, then.

Missing a fit Sergio Aguero, City have been struggling for goals. Could Spurs take advantage with a Kane-Son-Bale strikeforce that promises so much? If they do, it might be time to revise those opinions about Mourinho’s demise as a top manager.
