Tottenham vs Man City simulated to predict huge result in Arsenal Premier League title race

Spurs' predicted XI vs Man City


Tottenham will be looking to continue their push for the top four later tonight as they take on Manchester City, with Ange Postecoglou's side set to play a big role in the Premier League title race.

There's lots on the line for Spurs when they take on Man City later today, with a top-four finish and a spot in next season's Champions League still a possibility with three points against Pep Guardiola's side. But, a victory for Spurs will put the Premier League title in Arsenal's hands heading into the final game of the season, making a victory very bittersweet.

The last meeting between Spurs and City saw Guardiola's side win 1-0 in the FA Cup, the first goal and victory for City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs have only lost two of their last nine Premier League meetings against City, with the Lilywhites having been a bogey team for Guardiola's side in the past.

So, what could happen in north London later tonight? Let's take a look.

We simulated Tottenham vs Manchester City to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Spurs could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Emerson; Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Son, Kulusevski.

We predict that City could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland.

Spurs thought they had taken the lead just two minutes in when Son Heung-min drifted away from Ruben Dias at the far post to head a cross into the net, but the striker was judged to have been offside, and the goal was ruled out. After the early scare, City dominated the game, and just before the break, they managed to go a goal ahead.

A slick passing move was finished off when Kevin De Bruyne found Josko Gvardiol on the left, but his shot from a tight angle was well saved by Guglielmo Vicario and pushed over the bar for a corner. De Bruyne took the resulting set piece, and his cross was met by Erling Haaland who headed home at the near post, despite Pedro Porro's best efforts to block the ball on the line.

Just seven minutes after the restart, City doubled their lead as Haaland grabbed a second. Phil Foden played a one-two with the Norwegian to surge into the box and shoot, but his effort was parried to Haaland who tapped into an empty net. Spurs couldn't cope with the striker, and in the 88th minute, he bagged his hat-trick to top off a fantastic evening for City in the capital.

Substitutes Jeremy Doku and Rico Lewis linked up well down the right to break through the Spurs midfield, and Lewis' driven pass to De Bruyne was deftly flicked through the legs of Cristian Romero into the path of Haaland. Inside the box, the 23-year-old curled the ball around the keeper to make it 3-0 and put an end to any hope Spurs had of Champions League football next season.
