Man City

The Spurs take on the Blues! Catch our NBA odds series, featuring our Tottenham-Man City prediction and pick.

Both teams hope to snatch the coveted three points to start their February run. City is blessed to have no players spending time on the treatment table. On January 19, City fell behind 2-0 at halftime before putting in four goals in the second half. They secured the league double last season: Heung-Min Son’s goal opened the Spurs’ 2021-2022 season with a win, while the second matchup was a 3-2 victory, thanks to Harry Kane’s heroics where he squeaked a header in the 95th minute off of a Dejan Kulsevski cross. They got 36 points off of 11 wins and three draws in 21 games in the Prem. Harry Kane, who has 16 goals this season, hopes to deliver a tantalizing game, especially when he is set off to take the league’s leading goalscorer.

Harry Kane became Tottenham's all-time record goalscorer as he gave his team a hard-earned 1-0 win over Manchester City. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg capitalised ...

1 hr from kickoff: The teams are in and the headline now for City is Kevin De Bruyne is only on the bench. 2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to the Sporting News' coverage of Tottenham vs. He tears into the City half to plough through the back of Erling Haaland and earn a booking. That's almost certain to change in possession, with Rico Lewis tucking into the midfield alongside Rodri and Bernardo Silva. It's part cleared and Julian Alvarez lashes a volley from the edge of the box that's blocked. Emerson Royal bravely gets there first, takes a whack in the ribs from Jack Grealish and earns a free-kick for his troubles. Rodri and Nathan Ake combine to snuff out the danger. Again, the England man gets back to his own byline to tackle Emerson Royal and concede a corner. Riyad Mahrez wastes the free-kick and Jack Grealish has to charge back to dispossess Dejan Kulusevski. That could be a huge save from the Manchester City goalkeeper, but only if the players in front of him are able to recover their poise. Riyad Mahrez is the man to make way for Kevin De Bruyne, with Bernardo Silva moving to the right wing. It was also Kane's 200th Premier League goal and did neighbours Arsenal a favour in the race for this season's title.

Harry Kane made history with his goal as Tottenham beat Man City and stopped Pep Guardiola's side from taking advantage of Arsenal's earlier loss.

- This was the first time since joining Manchester City that Erling Haaland failed to attempt a shot in a game. We know when we play against this team we have to suffer because they have the ball a lot but we moved well in the defensive situation and defended the goal in a brilliant way. [Leicester City](/football/team?id=375) in a potentially tricky Premier League clash on Feb. [Aston Villa](/football/team?id=362) (Feb. We knew very well that in that game (at City) we lost our key - our capacity to suffer. Yet that was precisely how City lost this game: [Rico Lewis](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325564/Rico-Lewis) lost the ball near his own box and Tottenham pounced. To do it here against one of the best teams in the world, it's a special feeling." I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans. [Kevin De Bruyne](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134947/Kevin-De-Bruyne) -- City's best passer of the ball, and one of the finest the Premier League has ever seen -- was a decision that palpably backfired, but more than that, Guardiola's 4-2-4 setup did not have the desired effect. De Bruyne was introduced just before the hour mark, but City only marginally improved and the suspicion remains that despite his ferocious start to life in England, City are yet to find a way to consistently involve Haaland. In doing so, Kane became only the third player to score 200 goals in the Premier League era after Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208). Kane is also the quickest to reach that milestone, having required 304 games compared to Shearer (306) and Rooney (462).

Erling Haaland has been a revelation for Manchester City, but his latest outing saw him fire in no shots for the first time since September 2020.

Haaland failed to fire in a single effort on goal for the first time as a City player, with the last time he misfired so badly coming during his days at Borussia Dortmund during a meeting with Duisburg. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Haaland’s struggles at Spurs should come as no surprise as City are still waiting on their first goal as a collective at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Pep Guardiola’s side having now had 84 attempts without hitting the net across five matches in north London. [Norwegian striker has registered 31 goals](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-many-goals-has-erling-haaland-scored-during-his-career-man-city-superstar-s-crazy-stats-in-full/blt6b0b2af33bfbcb43) for the reigning Premier League champions this season, with [that haul including four hat-tricks](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/haaland-problem-guardiola-baffling-claims-hat-trick-man-city-incredible-striker/blt88767f73125391b2), but he was contained throughout 90 frustrating minutes against Tottenham.

Tottenham beat Manchester City 1-0 on Super Sunday thanks to Harry Kanes goal; Gary Neville said on Sky Sports commentary duty City are not as strong as ...

"The amount of times they got counter-attacked on today, the amount of times they got broken through, the amount of space they gave up in midfield - that doesn't happen. "It's not the Manchester City of old." "When they lose it they win it back quickly and keep team pinned back. There have been times when I've watched his teams lose and think: "that's a Pep Guardiola performance". And I've said it a couple of times since," said Neville. "Arsenal fans have been up in arms about that thinking I'm not giving them respect.

Harry Kane scored his 267th goal for Spurs, breaking Jimmy Greaves' record, as the home side deservedly beat an off-kilter City.

Ake runs across to slide tackle Royal on the edge of the area, with the ball ricocheting behind for a goalkick. 63 min “From a tactical perspective,” says Peter Oh, “is it fair to say that Harry Kane has ripped up City’s 4-3-3/3-3-4/3-5-2 playbook with his ruthless 2-6-7? He smashes a shot that hits Dier’s knee and flies over the bar. He slides an inviting first-time ball that just evades both the diving Ederson and the sliding Kane in the six-yard box. 68 min City are looking more dangerous now, and more desperate (in a good way). Ederson comes out to save Kane’s shot brilliantly with his outstretched left leg, and the ball ricochets off Kane before going wide of the near post. Grealish has looked most likely to create something for City in the second half. 76 min Walker’s deflected long-range shot is easily saved by Lloris, City’s first shot on target in the second half. To score and win that game was just the start. They could still have drawn or even won the game, because they are that good, but that was a slightly alarming performance. There’s been so much talk about it in the last two weeks and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans.
