Tottenham vs Manchester City prediction favors City to secure a narrow victory on February 1, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (4:30pm GMT). With Spurs struggling in 14th and City chasing Arsenal, expect a tense Premier League showdown.
Recent Form Analysis
Tottenham sits 14th after being winless in the last five PL games, with just two home wins this season. Manchester City, four points off leaders Arsenal, won only one of their last five league outings but advanced in the Champions League. Pressure mounts on Spurs boss Thomas Frank amid fan unrest.
City’s defense strengthens with Marc Guehi, while Spurs miss key players like Richarlison, Bentancur, and Kulusevski. Pep Guardiola has lost more games to Tottenham than any opponent (8 times).
Predicted Lineups
Tottenham (3-4-3): Vicario; Danso, Romero, Palhinha; Udogie, Gallagher, Gray, Spence; Odobert, Kudus, Solanke.
Man City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Rodri, Silva; Foden, Semenyo, Cherki; Haaland.
Score Predictions
Multiple expert analyses converge on Manchester City winning narrowly against struggling Tottenham. FOX Sports predicts Manchester City 2, Tottenham 1, citing City’s league-leading 47 goals and +26 differential versus Spurs’ poor home form (0.82 points/game).
Other sources align: Sportskeeda forecasts a 1-2 City win, Standard predicts 2-1, while Covers favors a City win + Under 2.5 given nine of the last 10 home H2Hs under total. The London Evening Standard notes both teams’ score trends but City’s momentum (recent 2-0 wins).
Why 2-1 Makes Sense
Haaland’s form (27 club goals, anytime scorer at 10/11) punishes Spurs’ defense, but Tottenham’s xG overperformance suggests a consolation goal. City’s Guehi bolsters the backline for clean-sheet potential, though Spurs’ home upsets linger (won last two at Etihad).
My pick: Man City 2-1 Tottenham—Haaland strikes early, and Foden seals it late. Share your Tottenham vs. Man City prediction below and bet responsibly!
