Manchester City vs Tottenham – At the weekend, both Manchester City and Tottenham lost to fierce rivals from the same city.
When they square off on Thursday night in the Premier League’s postponed matchup of Matchday No. 7, both teams will be eager to atone for their mistakes.
If the Citizens want to remain in the title chase through the end of the season, they cannot afford any more mistakes.
After an easy win against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday, Arsenal is now eight points behind the team in first place.
It was a game in which Spurs once more exposed a number of defensive flaws. Currently, Antonio Conte just cannot rely on his defensive line at all.
Following the World Cup break, Tottenham conceded two or more goals in three of five games across all competitions.
Erling Haaland, who is desperate to regain his pre-World Cup form after failing to score in the third straight match in all competitions, will find this to be music to his ears.

Manchester City vs Tottenham – Betting Analysis
Although Manchester City won the Premier League last season, they fell to Tottenham in both of their head-to-head matches.
In their last six meetings with the Citizens, Spurs have prevailed four times. In these six games, only one goal was scored by each club.
Manchester City just cannot afford to make another error. Given how simple it has been to exploit Tottenham in previous games, we have to regard them as the clear favorites here (and throughout the season).
We anticipate a sincere response from Pep Guardiola’s apparatus, which ought to have plenty of opportunities to exploit Tottenham’s porous defense on Thursday.
You can wager on Erling Haaland to score two or more goals here at a tempting 3.40 odds, while you can back Manchester City to win both halves at the tempting 3.00 odds.
We have a hunch that Tottenham Hotspur will be able to get through this Manchester City team’s defense, but it probably won’t be enough to prevent a defeat.
