Tottenham and Manchester City came through potentially awkward ties against Eintracht Frankfurt and Galatasaray on Wednesday to secure their passage straight to the last 16 of the Champions League.

They now have a month or so to focus on domestic matters, starting with City's quest to avenge August's 2-0 home defeat to Thomas Frank's side.

That scoreline was also the result of the pair's midweek wins and might provide some guidance on how Sunday's meeting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will unfold.

Manchester City to win 2-0

Tottenham vs Manchester Citypreview

These are strange days at Tottenham. Wednesday's 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt secured their passage into the last 16 of the Champions League but the fans are far from happy.

Finishing fourth in the European league phase means they now have a month to focus on domestic matters, and Sunday's visit from Manchester City is the first game of a ferocious February fixture list including a trip to Manchester United before hosting Newcastle and Arsenal.

Thomas Frank's position may become untenable by March 1's trip to Fulham, but it could have been so different.

Despite winning the Europa League, Ange Postecoglou lost his job after Spurs finished 17th in the league - and Frank's dynamic work at Brentford made him an obvious replacement.

August's 2-0 win at the Etihad earned early acclaim, but the praise was short-lived.

Anger is now simmering at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and supporters are unimpressed by a record of two wins from 11 home league games.

City beat Galatasaray 2-0 in midweek and are also into the last 16 of the Champions League.

They have won to nil on their last two league visits to N17 and need to respond on the road after losing 2-0 at Old Trafford and 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt.

Micky van de Ven should return for Spurs but injuries continue to hinder Frank. Of August's starting line-up at the Etihad, five are unavailable, with four injured and opening goalscorer Brennan Johnson sold to Crystal Palace.

The Dane deserves credit for guiding Tottenham through the league phase of the Champions League. Conversely, the difficult schedule may give him more time, as the board would be unwilling to place any replacement under immediate pressure.

More boos may force their hand, and a City side who have won their last two games without conceding are unlikely to show the Dane much mercy.

Semenyo can haunt Spurs again

Tottenham were among the clubs interested in Antoine Semenyo before he joined City, and he has a recent history against Spurs, scoring the winner as Bournemouth beat them 3-2 on January 7.

The 26-year-old has scored five times in his last eight Premier League appearances and could trouble Tottenham again.

City to turn the tables

A repeat of the reverse fixture's 2-0 away win looks highly likely. Both clubs won by that scoreline on Wednesday, meaning that has been the outcome in two of Tottenham's last three matches and four of City's last five.

Key stats for Tottenham vs Manchester City

♦ Tottenham have won two of their last 14 league games

♦ City have won to nil on three of their last four visits to Spurs

♦ Tottenham won 2-0 at the Etihad - that scoreline has also occurred in two of their last three and four of City's last five

♦ Antoine Semenyo has scored five goals in his last eight Premier League games

♦ Man City have not conceded before the break in any of their last nine league games

Both Tottenham and Manchester City won 2-0 on Wednesday, guaranteeing safe passage to the Champions League last 16 and allowing each a month to focus on domestic matters.

They meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Sunday's late game and past results trend towards an away win.

Recent meetings have produced one-sided scorelines, but the attacking quality on both teams hints at another exciting match.

Jack Ogalbe has picked out three selections for Sunday's game and his Bet Builder pays out at 11-2.

Pays out at 11-2 with bet365

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.

Pressure is building on Tottenham manager Thomas Frank after Saturday's 2-1 derby defeat to West Ham and he desperately needs his side to bounce back in Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Borussia Dortmund.

Spurs will go on the front foot as they bid to get their fans back on side but their German visitors are a strong outfit and an exciting game could play out in north London.

Paddy Power are offering new customers 50-1 that a goal is scored at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Tottenham were booed off at half-time and full-time on Saturday when defeat to West Ham made it three losses in a row, and Frank badly needs a good performance from his side if he is to save his job.

Fixing a defence which has shipped eight goals in four games will be top of the Dane's priority list, but a first clean sheet of 2026 is unlikely to arrive against Dortmund, the Champions League's joint-highest scorers.

BVB are level with Spurs on 11 points but their forwards have made a much bigger impact on the European stage, combining for an impressive 19 goals in the league phase.

That said, Niko Kovac's defence has been far less effective, shipping 13 goals in just six games, suggesting an exciting affair between two well-matched and attack-minded teams is on the cards at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Sunderland kick-off, date & TV info

Date Sunday, January 4

Kick-off 3pm

Venue Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Competition Premier League

TV Sky Sports Premier Football

Tottenham return home after taking four points from a possible six on their travels, but Thomas Frank remains under pressure after a drab goalless draw with his former side Brentford on Thursday.

Sunderland, meanwhile, continue to prove the naysayers after holding Manchester City to a goalless draw on New Year's Day, a result which saw them consolidate their position in the top half.

Tottenham vs Sunderland betting tips & predictions

Best bet

Under 2.5 goals

Tottenham vs Sunderlandpreview

Sunderland again demonstrated their rock-solid defensive foundations in Thursday's goalless draw with Manchester City and it could be in evidence once more at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Only Arsenal and City have conceded fewer goals than the Black Cats and goalkeeper Robin Roefs continues to stake his claim to being the signing of the season.

Roefs' underlying numbers are the best of any stopper in the top flight and, despite losing almost half of their first-choice 11 to Africa Cup of Nations duty, Sunderland continue to make a mockery of pre-season expecations.

Things are less rosy for Spurs and Thomas Frank, whose pragmatic approach does not seem to be bringing the best out of his players or endearing the Dane to Lilywhites supporters.

Thursday's goalless draw at Frank's former employers Brentford means that Spurs have won just three of their last 11 games and they had the 16th best expected-goals figure (17.8) coming into this weekend's round of fixtures.

Sunderland are one of just three teams with an inferior figure, suggesting Sunday's meeting could be a low-key affair.

Tottenham vs Sunderland Bet Builder

Under 2.5 goals

Sunderland have been rock-solid at the back and can keep a Tottenham team struggling for fluidity at arm's length.

Trai Hume to be shown a card

The Northern Ireland international has received four yellows this season and was fortunate not to be shown another against Manchester City.

Richarlison to have a shot on target

The Brazilian has registered six shots on target in his last six games and seems likely to be Spurs' biggest threat on Sunday.

Venue Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

Competition Premier League

TV Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

Tottenham and Liverpool feel they should be higher up the table and their clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium feels like a key encounter for both clubs.

Spurs need to bounce back after their miserable 3-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, while Liverpool are attempting to build on last Saturday's 2-0 triumph at home to Brighton.

Tottenham vs Liverpool betting tips & predictions

Best player bet

Mohammed Kudus to score or assist

Longshot

Djed Spence over 0.5 assists

Tottenham vs Liverpoolpreview

Tottenham's performances have fluctuated wildly over the last month and after a 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend they will be desperate to give their disappointed fans some respite.

Spurs delivered a very strong performance at home to Brentford a fortnight ago and secured a thoroughly merited 2-0 victory. Xavi Simons won praise for his composed assist and a superb individual goal.

And Thomas Frank's side followed that effort with a 3-0 Champions League triumph at home to Slavia Prague, but their standards fell off a cliff at Forest, where they were swatted aside by Sean Dyche's side.

Simons was largely anonymous at the City Ground, but his lack of consistency is far from the only issue for Spurs, who have sorely missed the creative influence of long-term injured pair James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

Tottenham remained 11th after their loss at the City Ground, but they are only four points worse off than Liverpool, who are getting nowhere near the standards set last season.

Liverpool brought some relief to their supporters with last Saturday's 2-0 victory at home to Brighton, sealing three points thanks to a double strike from their main danger man Hugo Ekitike.

Arne Slot's side made the perfect start thanks to Ekitike's first-minute opener but the rest of the match was far from straightforward. Brighton registered 14 goal attempts and edged the expected-goals figures by 1.96 to 1.82.

Mohamed Salah was lively on his return to the side but he has headed off to the Africa Cup of Nations for at least a few weeks and the squad has seemingly become further stretched by an injury for Joe Gomez and a knock for Dominik Szoboszlai.

Liverpool have won five of their last six league meetings against Spurs and are warm favourites to take the points this weekend, but they do not have the look of a team who can be fully trusted.

The Reds were a winning machine for much of last season, but they haven't secured successive Premier League victories since September and could be left disappointed in the capital with a share of the points.

Kudus can contribute

Mohammed Kudus has been the pick of Tottenham's summer signings. He has contributed two Premier League goals and five assists and could come up with a major moment this weekend.

Spence may pose a threat

Tottenham have been getting a lot of attacking width from the full-backs Djed Spence and Pedro Porro. Spence raided forward on numerous occasions in the 2-0 victory at home to Brentford and he looks overpriced to deliver his first assist of the season.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Bet Builder

Hugo Ekitike to score at any time

Ekitike will be full of confidence after his brace against Brighton and he can add to his seven-goal top-flight tally.

Cristian Romero to be carded

Romero is the most carded player in the Premier League and he could collect another.

Both teams to score

Attack may be the best form of defence for both teams, who can serve up an entertaining spectacle.

Tottenham are 16th and three points adrift of the top eight in the Champions League standings with three matches of the league phase to go.

Tottenham vs Slavia Prague preview

Despite some Tottenham supporters voicing their concerns about Thomas Frank, Spurs remain handily placed in the Champions League after five rounds of the league phase.

Frank's men are 16th with three fixtures to play and four points from games against Slavia Prague and Bundesliga duo Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt should be enough to ensure they progress to the first knockout stage.

Spurs were humbled 5-3 at Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago but they have been solid at home in Europe this season, beating Villarreal 1-0 and FC Copenhagen 4-0 in north London.

The matchday-five loss at PSG came hot on the heels of a demoralising 4-1 derby defeat against Arsenal, and Spurs then lost 2-1 at home to Fulham after their fruitless trip to Paris.

However, Frank has managed to steady the ship with Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United followed by a comfortable 2-0 win over the Dane's former employers Brentford at the weekend.

Saturday's win will have given Frank a much-needed lift and Tuesday's meeting with Slavia Prague is the perfect opportunity for Spurs to put themselves in an excellent position to be one of eight seeded clubs in the first knockout round.

The top eight is also not out of the question for Tottenham, who are only four points adrift of fifth-placed Real Madrid, and they should be confident of making their class count against Slavia.

The Czech visitors are 31st in the league-phase standings after collecting only three points from five games and they are yet to win in this season's competition.

An inability to find the back of the net has been central to their struggles. Slavia have scored just twice in the league phase and they failed to get on the scoresheet in both of their away ties to date, drawing 0-0 with Atalanta and losing 3-0 at Inter.

Simons to build on Brentford display

Frank handed Dutch star Xavi Simons a rare start against Brentford at the weekend and he repaid his manager with a goal and an assist.

Simons had four shots against the Bees, two of which hit the target, and he was the architect of Richarlison's opener before doubling Spurs' lead in the 43rd minute.

The Netherlands international should be given another chance to impress from the off against Slavia on Tuesday night.

Zafeiris good value to be cautioned

Midfielder Christos Zafeiris has committed more fouls than any Slavia player this season.

The all-action 22-year-old has been pulled up for 11 infringements in five Champions League outings, while he has been fouled nine times himself.

He should find himself involved in the thick of the action against Spurs' energetic midfield.

Tottenham vs Slavia Prague Bet Builder

Richarlison to have one or more shots on target

No Tottenham player has had more shots than Richarlison's 35 in all competitions this season and the Brazilian has registered a shot on target in four of his last six appearances for the Lilywhites.

Slavia Prague to receive the most cards

No team has committed more fouls in this season's Champions League than Slavia Prague. The Czech visitors have been penalised 90 times, leading them to pick up 11 yellow cards in five league-phase matches.

Tomas Chory to be shown a card

Slavia Prague forward Tomas Chory has already been cautioned in the Champions League and has conceded nine fouls, eight of which have come in his last two European appearances.
