Manchester City 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur

Current streaks

Recent form

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent form has been uncharacteristically poor, with the club currently enduring a concerning four-match losing streak across all competitions. This run of defeats is particularly striking given their usual dominance, and it includes losses in the Premier League, Champions League, and League Cup. Despite their current second-place position in the league, City's recent performances have been a mixed bag. Their last six matches have seen them score 10 goals and concede 10, highlighting a surprising defensive vulnerability. The 5-0 victory over Sparta Praha stands out as a high-scoring affair and a rare bright spot in this challenging period. However, the subsequent 4-1 defeat to Sporting CP in the Champions League further underscores their recent struggles. With 83% of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals, City's games have certainly been entertaining, albeit not always in their favour.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team currently sitting 10th in the Premier League table. Their last six matches have seen them alternate between wins and losses, failing to secure back-to-back victories. Notably, Spurs have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their 4-1 victory over Aston Villa stands out as a particularly impressive result. However, the team's defensive record is a concern, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six games and conceding an average of 1.33 goals per match. The Lilywhites have shown they can compete with top sides, as evidenced by their League Cup win over Manchester City, but their recent losses to Ipswich Town and Galatasaray suggest a lack of consistency that needs addressing.

Recent home/away form

Manchester City

Manchester City have been in impressive form at home, boasting an unbeaten run of six matches with four wins and two draws. The Citizens have shown their attacking prowess, scoring 13 goals in these fixtures, averaging 2.17 goals per game. Their defensive solidity is equally noteworthy, conceding just 5 goals and keeping 3 clean sheets. A particularly high-scoring encounter was their 5-0 thrashing of Sparta Praha in the Champions League, demonstrating their capability to dominate opponents. City are currently on a four-match winning streak at home, which includes victories in the Premier League, Champions League, and League Cup. Their ability to score consistently is evident, with 67% of their home games seeing over 2.5 goals, making for exciting spectacles for their supporters.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent away form has been a tale of two halves, with the Lilywhites experiencing a dramatic shift in fortunes. After a strong start with three consecutive wins, including an impressive 3-0 victory at Manchester United, Spurs have slumped to three straight defeats on the road. Their away matches have been notably high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and an average of 3.33 goals per match. Defensively, Tottenham have struggled, keeping just one clean sheet in their last six away fixtures and conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. The 3-2 losses to both Galatasaray and Brighton highlight their vulnerability at the back, whilst also demonstrating their ability to find the net consistently, having scored in all but one of these encounters. Despite their recent poor run, Spurs' overall goal difference remains positive, suggesting that their away performances have been more competitive than their recent results might indicate.
