Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City 26.01.2024 Prediction: FA Cup

Match Overview

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City meet each other in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Friday. Spurs will want to pull one over City and make them pay for any of the mistakes that they happen to create. For City, this will be a test of how well they can play away from home in front of a hostile crowd.

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of 31 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which Spurs have won ten. City have been victorious on seventeen occasions while the rest of the four matches were played out as drawn encounters. Spurs will have to contend with the fact that they have not done well against City historically but can change it all on Friday.

Injury Report

Both these teams have long list of injured players in their ranks. For Spurs, Manor Solomon, Ben Davies and James Maddison, among others, will be missing out. For City, Manuel Akanji, Erling Haaland and John Stones are doubtful starters.

Prediction

We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game since it is a very close one to call. Neither Spurs nor City appear to have a huge advantage over the other at the outset. When these two teams last met in December last year, they played out a whopping 3-3 draw. One might expect a similar result in this game as well. It will not be easy for any pundit to predict the score.
