Manchester City v Spurs – Free Tip!

Manchester City’s disappointing and controversial 2-2 draw with Ajax in the Champions League looks to have ended their dreams of supreme European glory for another year, although there is always the meagre consolation of the Europa League to look forward to.

A wrongly disallowed goal and a clear penalty that wasn’t awarded left the volatile Italians Mancini and Balotelli apoplectic with rage at the final whistle. Domestically though, they are only two points behind leaders Manchester United and remain the only undefeated side in the Premier League, but yet the feeling persists that there is something not quite right with the way they are playing.

The absence of the silky midfielder, David Silva, has undoubtedly made them a less fluid and stylish team to watch, but has also meant there has been less chance creation and penetration up front. This Sunday sees the Sky Blues take on Tottenham Hotspur at the Ethiad Stadium in what promises to be the most entertaining encounter of the weekends football action.

Whilst winning most of their home games, City have not been convincing in Manchester this season; only beating bottom of the table Southampton 3-2 and drawing 1-1 against a fairly average Arsenal side back in late September.

Spurs manager, Andre Villas-Boas, pulled off one of the shocks of the season six weeks ago when Tottenham beat Man United 3-2 at Old Trafford for the first time in over twenty years. Tottenham seem to play in a more relaxed manner away from the pressure and expectation of White Hart Lane; they’ve netted eight goals in their last three consecutive Premier League away victories.

The pressure will be on Roberto Mancini and his expensively assembled City squad in this fixture, and I can envisage Villas-Boas orchestrating another major upset by coming away from Manchester with all three points this weekend. The odds for a Spurs win are pretty decent at 6.0 Euro odds or 5/1 in normal odds.
