Man City to score two goals
Both teams won 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday and the proliferation of that scoreline in the pair's recent results suggests a nil for one of the sides on Sunday.
At least one team has failed to score in the pair's last four league meetings, with Tottenham winning 4-0 at the Etihad last season before triumphing 2-0 at the ground in August's reverse fixture. Meanwhile, City won 2-0 in N17 in May 2024 and were 1-0 winners at Spurs in February 2025.
Of City's last five games, four have been 2-0 results (W3, L1) and they have also not conceded before the break in their last nine league games.
They are the favourites for Sunday's clash and could continue a recent trend in Tottenham's results.
Aston Villa triumphed 2-1 at Spurs in the FA Cup, before West Ham won by the same scoreline in the Premier League.
Tottenham's most recent league fixture was a 2-2 draw at Burnley, and City could be the latest side to score exactly twice against Thomas Frank's team.
Erling Haaland to Score
Erling Haaland had scored only once in nine games before the win over Galatasaray but the way he took his goal on Wednesday suggested his recent run has done little to dent his confidence.
Sent through by Jeremy Doku, Haaland scooted in behind Abdulkerim Bardakci before dinking the ball over on-rushing goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir.
It was masterful play by the forward and took his scoring tally for this season to 40 in 38 appearances for club and country.
Haaland has scored four goals in seven Premier League appearances against Tottenham.
The last three have come in away games, and the Norwegian's skill, size, pace, and movement make him an omnipotent threat.
Xavi Simons to have 1+ shots
Summer signing Xavi Simons is starting to settle into English football after joining Tottenham from RB Leipzig.
The mercurial Dutchman had an early goal disallowed in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt and has been tallying up shots in the league.
Simons has had seven attempts at goal in his team's last three league games and is never afraid to try his luck, often when frustration gets the better of him.
