Tottenham Hotspur have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable upturn in their last two Premier League matches. The Lilywhites have secured four wins in their last six games across all competitions, including a comfortable 4-1 victory against Ipswich Town in their most recent outing. This high-scoring affair, along with their 3-0 win over IF Elfsborg in the Europa League, demonstrates Spurs' attacking potency when in form. However, their consistency has been questionable, as evidenced by back-to-back losses in cup competitions, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the League Cup. Defensively, Tottenham have shown improvement, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches. Despite their current 12th position in the league, their recent form suggests they may be finding their stride, with two consecutive Premier League wins potentially signalling a climb up the table.
Manchester City
Manchester City's recent form has been uncharacteristically poor, with the team suffering four losses in their last six matches across all competitions. The Citizens have failed to secure back-to-back victories during this period, alternating between wins and losses in their last four games. Notably, City have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five of the six matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Their defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding a concerning 14 goals in six games, including a 5-1 thrashing by Arsenal in the Premier League. Despite their attacking prowess, with 10 goals scored, City have managed just one clean sheet in this run. The team's goal difference of -4 and their current fourth position in the league table suggest a significant dip in form for the usually dominant side, who now face an uphill battle to regain their winning momentum.
Tottenham Hotspur's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with three wins, two losses, and a draw in their last six matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Spurs have shown resilience in their most recent outings, securing back-to-back victories against Manchester United and IF Elfsborg, the latter being a high-scoring 3-0 win in the Europa League. Despite their 12th position in the league, Tottenham have managed to maintain a positive goal difference at home, scoring 9 goals whilst conceding 6. Their defensive record is noteworthy, with 3 clean sheets in these 6 matches, including shutouts against top-tier opponents like Manchester United and Liverpool. The team's matches have tended to be relatively high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting an entertaining spectacle for home fans. However, consistency remains a challenge for Spurs, as they've been unable to string together more than two consecutive wins in this period.
Manchester City
Manchester City's recent away form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Citizens have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 6-0 thrashing of Ipswich Town and a 5-1 defeat to Arsenal. Notably, all of their last six away games have seen over 2.5 goals, with an impressive average of 4.83 total goals per match. City's attack has remained potent, scoring 2.33 goals per game, but their defence has struggled, conceding 2.5 goals per match and keeping only one clean sheet. The team's goal difference is surprisingly negative (-1) over this period, largely due to heavy defeats against Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. Both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, highlighting City's attacking prowess but also their defensive vulnerabilities on the road.
