Manchester City vs. Spurs Premier League Match Preview

In the standout fixture of the weekend, Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs are set to go toe to toe with reigning Champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a crucial Premier League fixture.

Match Preview:

The much anticipated return of the 2024/25 Premier League season will see a total of 10 fixtures take place up and down the country from Saturday 23rd November to Monday 25th November 2024. One such fixture is Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City versus Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham Hotspur side at the Etihad Stadium in a 17:30 kick-off in the afternoon of Saturday 23rd November.

This is widely regarded as the standout fixture of the weekend, with two of England and Europe’s biggest clubs going head to head.

As of the time of writing, Spurs find themselves sat in 9th place with a total of 18 points from the 11 matches that they have played early on in the current campaign. The Lilywhites are currently just a point adrift of North London rivals Arsenal, who are presently occupying the final UEFA Champions League qualification spot in 4th place as of the time of writing.

Three points for the North London outfit would see them potentially rise as high as 3rd in the league should other results elsewhere also go their way this weekend.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are seeking a historic 5^th consecutive Premier League title, and as things currently stand in the English top flight, the Cityzens are 2nd in the table with 23 points having been accumulated from their 11 matches to date this season.

City can bring themselves to within just 2 points of the current Premier League leaders Liverpool, should Pep Guardiola’s side win whilst their Merseyside counterparts are defeated by Russell Martin’s Southampton team away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs were defeated 2 – 1 by Ipswich Town in their most recent game in the league at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, whilst Manchester City were also on the end of a 2 – 1 defeat, with their loss coming against Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on the South Coast.

Head to Head:

The most recent fixture between Manchester City and Spurs took place in the Fourth Round of the Carabao Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on 30th October 2024. It was the Lilywhites who sealed their place in the Quarter Final after beating City 2 – 1 on the night thanks to goals from Timo Werner (5’) and Pape Matar Sarr (25’). You can view the highlights from this game below:

Tottenham’s opponents in the next stage of this competition will be Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, also at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, on Thursday 19th December 2024 in what is a 20:00 Kick-Off in North London.

Overall, it is Manchester City who have the marginally superior record in this fixture with 68 wins from their 72 clashes with Spurs over the years, with the North London outfit currently having a total of 67 victories against the Cityzens to their name so far. There have been 37 draws between these two teams to date.

All eyes will be on the Etihad Stadium when these two heavyweights of the Premier League go toe to toe for a crucial three points in the most high profile fixture of the weekend on the afternoon of Saturday 23rd November, with kick-off at 17:30.
