Match Preview
Manchester City has chance go tthe top of Premier League, after Arsenal failed to win against Southampton. Radically different plans have Spurs. After coming of Tim Sherwood team is playing much better and have not lost in 10 games. London side knows that Liverpool won in the Merseyside Derby and Manchester United also took three points, so for them losing will be very bad and problematic for the future chances in the fight for fourth place. Anyway City is the favourites in this game, cause Manuel Pellegrini's boys are in the marvelous form. We can predict that it will be very interesting and dramatic game with many goals, because both teams are playing attacking football and they need points.
Tottenham will be once again without Andros Townsend and Erik Lamela. Samir Nasri returned to training earlier than it was expected but he can't play yet. James Milner and Javi Garcia are still injured. Alvaro Negredo is fit after overcoming shoulder injury. So Pellegrini can count on Negredo and on Sergio Aguero. Of course there is Edin Dzeko too. Sherwood have his beloved and City's former player Emmanuel Adebayor as a jocker.
Statistics
City have scored 17 goals in their last five matches against Spurs, but Tottenham have lost just 1 of their last 10 home games against Manchester City and won 7(!).
Manuel Pellegrini's side is unbeaten in 19 games (scoring 64 goals in this period).
Emmanuel Adebayor scored 5 goals in 7 matches and he already matched his whole last season's tally in the Premier League.
