Team Analysis
Tottenham has been struggling recently, even managing only a narrow victory against already-relegated Burnley last weekend. In terms of recent performances, Tottenham has failed to win in their last five matches. Despite their strong start to the season, Tottenham still has a chance to compete for a Champions League spot. However, if they lose this match against Manchester City, they will miss out on next season's Champions League. Therefore, Tottenham's motivation for this match is undeniable.

Manchester City, on the other hand, has been on a roll with seven consecutive league wins. Since exiting the Champions League, Pep Guardiola has focused all efforts on securing a domestic double. Given their current form, and the fact that pre-match odds heavily favor them, Manchester City is the clear favorite. It's worth noting that Manchester City is one point behind Arsenal at the top of the table, and a win would see them move two points ahead. However, given their goal difference, a draw would not be enough to overtake Arsenal.

Odds Analysis
Considering the historical encounters between the two teams, in the first meeting of this season, Tottenham managed a 3-3 draw away against Manchester City. Additionally, Tottenham has won their last four home league matches against Manchester City. Clearly, this will be a tough match for Manchester City. Especially given the pre-match odds don't entirely favor them, despite the widespread expectations of a Manchester City win, there's reason to be cautious. Therefore, it's bold to predict that Tottenham will at most lose by a single goal.

Pick: Tottenham
