Command Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur
EnglandCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, Tottenham has not been able to get on a decent winning streak. The Spurs play some matches at a high level, fully show themselves in attack, but then not the most convincing matches follow. Thus, in the last two rounds in the Premier League, one could see an excellent match against West Ham (4:1), and then a defeat to Crystal Palace with a score of 0:1. The game of Ange Postecoglou charges did not go at all, they made only three shots on target, and allowed the opponent a lot in their penalty area. In the Premier League standings, https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Tottenham is only in eighth place after nine rounds, having scored 13 points.
The Londoners are doing much better in the Europa League, where after three rounds they have collected the maximum nine points and are in second place in the overall table. The Spurs have victories over Qarabag (3:0), Ferencvaros (2:1) and AZ (1:0) in the second most important European club tournament.
In the League Cup at the previous stage, Tottenham played against Coventry. Postecoglou fielded a far from main lineup in that match. As a result, it was only at the very end that they managed to score two goals, winning with a score of 2:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Son, Odobert and Spence on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham players have committed fewer fouls than their opponents in five of their last six matches
- Spurs have not won in the first half in their last three matches
- At least three goals have been scored in three of Tottenham last five matches
Probable line-up : Vicario - Gray, Dragusin, van de Ven, Udoji - Maddison, Sarr, Bentancur - Johnson, Richarlison, Moore.
Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
Manchester City footballers are clearly approaching the upcoming cup game in high spirits. In the last round of the Premier League, the Citizens won a modest 1:0 victory over Southampton, but nevertheless topped the standings, as their main rival Liverpool lost points to Arsenal (2:2). The gap from the Merseysiders is only one point, and undoubtedly, the whole battle is still ahead.
It should be noted that at the end of September Manchester City had a slight slump, when they drew three times, but now the situation has more or less stabilized, the Citizens are approaching the game on a series of five wins in a row in all tournaments. In the Champions League, Josep Guardiola charges have scored seven points in three rounds and are in third place in the table. The only misfire was in the opening round with Inter. In the last game in this tournament, the team left no chance for Sparta Prague (5:0).
In recent years, Guardiola has not used the main squad in the early stages of the League Cup. Last season, we recall, there was an early exit from Newcastle. This time, we could see a not very confident victory over Watford (2:1) with an experimental squad at the previous stage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Grealish, Doku, Walker, Bobb and Rodri are all injured and will not be on the pitch for the upcoming match. De Bruyne is a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester City have lost their last nine games due to offsides
- In three of the previous five matches, the Citizens won in the first half
- Only once in the last six games have Manchester City players received more yellow cards than their opponents
Probable line-up : Ortega - Lewis, Stones, O'Reilly, Ake - Luis, Gundogan - Savio, McTee, Foden - Haaland.

1.53Tip and bets
In the bookmakers' line we see almost equal odds for the winner. This is largely due to the fact that the opponents will play in a cup match, where much depends on what lineups will be used. Judging by previous matches, there is a high probability that Spurs and Citizens will have a decent rotation, but it is unlikely that anyone will allow themselves to play completely carelessly. In general, Manchester City has been more stable this season. Even when the game is not going well, Josep Guardiola charges achieve success. Tottenham often frankly fail, which could be seen in the matches with Brighton and Crystal Palace. It cannot be said that the Londoners are approaching the upcoming game at the peak of their form, and without this it is difficult to beat Manchester City. Taking into account the odds set, we recommend betting on the visitors.
Our prediction is Manchester City to win at odds of 2.65
Bet on total
In three of the last four head-to-head encounters, no more than two goals were scored. Today, the lineups will clearly not be the most optimal and it is unlikely that we should expect a bright game in attack.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.69
Bet on corners
Let take a look at the promising trend in corners. Manchester City have won by more than one corner in seven of their last eight head-to-head encounters at Tottenham. Accordingly, we recommend another betting option.
Prediction: Manchester City win on corners with a handicap of (-1.5) with odds of 2.25
