Tottenham have completed the Premier League double over Manchester City nine times so far, more than they have any other opponent. Meanwhile, only Chelsea (10) have done so more against the Citizens.
Man City have won their last two away league games against Spurs, last winning three in a row between February 1973 and August 1974.
Tottenham Hotspur are winless in five Premier League matches (D3 L2), their fourth run of 5+ winless games in the last two seasons. They only had four runs of five or more winless games across their previous 12 seasons combined from 2012-13 to 2023-24.
In the last two seasons, Manchester City rank sixth for points won away from home in the Premier League (46 in 30 games â an average of 1.53 per game). In the two seasons beforehand in 2022-23 and 2023-24, City won the joint most away points (81 in 38 games â 2.13 points per game).
In the last two seasons, the only ever-present sides to pick up fewer Premier League points than Tottenham (66) are Wolves (50) and West Ham (63), with Spursâ 31 defeats second only to Wolves (37) in that time. Another defeat would mean Spurs have lost 10+ games for eight consecutive seasons since 2018-19 â in their eight seasons beforehand (2010-11 â 2017-18) this only happened twice.
Man City faced as many shots as they had themselves last time out against Wolves (11 each), the seventh time this season theyâd either had fewer or as many attempts as their opponents in a Premier League game, the joint most in a season under Pep Guardiola. They are only averaging 4.7 more shots per game than their opponents this season, their smallest difference in a season under the Spaniard.
Man Cityâs Pep Guardiola has lost more league games against Spurs than any other opponent in his managerial career (8).
Thomas Frank has won just four of his last 22 home Premier League matches, with an identical record (W2 D3 L6) across his last 11 games with Brentford as in his first 11 with Spurs (W4 D6 L12 overall). Frank has the worst points per game at home of any Spurs boss in Premier League history (0.82).
Omar Marmoush netted his first Premier League goal of the season in Man Cityâs 2-0 win over Wolves but all eight of his goals in the competition have been scored at home â heâs failed to score with all 20 of his attempts in 12 games away from home.
Man Cityâs Antoine Semenyo has scored five goals in his last eight Premier League appearances, the joint most of any player in that timeframe (15 December onwards). One of those was a late winner against Spurs for Bournemouth in January, with only Eric Cantona in 1992-93 (Leeds and Man Utd) and Benito Carbone in 1999-00 (Sheff Wed and Aston Villa) scoring against Spurs for two teams in a single season.
