Although Manchester City, the reigning Premier League winners, have not played at their peak lately, Mark Lawrenson believes they will defeat Tottenham with ease.
When attempting to snap a three-game losing trend, Ange Postecoglou’s team would not have desired to play Man City at the Etihad Stadium.
Spurs are suffering from a severe injury crisis; Postecoglou even said on Friday that, in his two decades as a coach, he has never had so many players out at once (Football.London).
It should come as no surprise that no one is giving Spurs any chance of winning the match on Sunday, with experts like Chris Sutton (BBC City) and Paul Merson (Sky Sports) predicting a crushing victory for Pep Guardiola’s team.
Is there any chance for Tottenham to defeat Man City?
Lawrenson is the most recent analyst to predict the same thing, believing that City will triumph handily even though they didn’t perform well against Liverpool the previous week.
“Tottenham started so brightly against Aston Villa last week, but they ran out of steam a bit,” he said to Paddypower (as reported by Sportsskeeda).
Additionally, several players who haven’t played much at all were started by Ange Postecoglou. Liverpool vs. Manchester City was boring, as is known to happen with every 12.30 pm game. I’ll aim for a huge City victory.
When did Spurs start a game as such massive underdogs and no analyst predicted anything other than a resounding defeat for us? I can’t recall the last time that happened.
Additionally, it releases all of the pressure from the Tottenham players, which could be very risky for City since we do have guys who are capable of hurting them.
MAN CITY VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR.
