Why you should back Manchester City
The Citizens lead the Premier League with 46 goals and are tied with Arsenal for the best goal differential at plus-28. They have two players in the top 10 in tallies as midfielder Phil Foden is tied for ninth with seven while striker Erling Haaland has scored a league-high 21 times. Man City also boasts the EPL’s top setup man as Kevin De Bruyne ranks first with 10 assists.
The 22-year-old Haaland has gone back-to-back matches without a goal for the first time this season but is more than capable of scoring in bunches as he has registered three hat tricks and three braces already in 2022-23. De Bruyne, a 31-year-old midfielder from Belgium, reached double digits in assists for the fifth time in the last seven seasons when he set up Jack Grealish’s tally on Saturday. Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and forward Riyad Mahrez are among a group of nine players who have multiple goals this campaign and both scored in the 3-2 home loss to Spurs last season.
Why you should back Tottenham
Spurs are fifth in the standings, six points behind Manchester City, and rank third in the league with 37 goals despite their recent struggles. They also boast one of the EPL’s most dangerous offensive players in Harry Kane, who is second with 15 goals. The 29-year-old striker has scored five goals over his last six matches and has yet to go back-to-back contests without converting.
Kane scored twice in Tottenham’s 4-0 victory against Crystal Palace on Jan. 4 and also had a brace in the side’s 3-2 win at Manchester City last season. That triumph completed a sweep of the two-game series in 2021-22 for Spurs, who also edged the Citizens 1-0 at home. Son Heung-min scored the goal in that victory and is tied for second on the team this season with four goals.
