Man City and Spurs Current Form and Standings

As expected, Man City got off to winning ways in the Premier League last weekend. They demolished Wolves 4-0, following two goals from Erling Haaland and a goal each for new signings Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki. That now puts City right at the very top of the table on goal difference. Pep Guardiola’s men will certainly be looking to get back into the title contention after what was a very disappointing year last season, finishing 3rd – 13 points behind top spot. However, the Mancunians have some tricky fixtures approaching with this Tottenham game and then Brighton, Manchester United and Arsenal straight after.

Tottenham hit the best possible start to their Premier League campaign last Saturday, as they faced Burnley at home and managed to beat them 3-0 on the day. Two spectacular Richarlison goals and another from Brennan Johnson sealed all three points in North London, giving all Spurs fans some hope after their 17th place finish last term. After they play Man City this weekend, Spurs have a comfortable set of fixtures approaching against the likes of Bournemouth, West Ham, Wolves and Leeds, offering them a chance to pick up a handful of points to put them well within the top four mix.
