Tottenham vs Man City: Premier League preview, predictions and bet builder tips

• Ladbrokes previews Tottenham vs Manchester City in the Premier League on February 1, 2026.

• Tottenham beat Man City back in August 2025, with Thomas Frank wanting to go two-for-two against City in the Premier League this season.

• However, Ladbrokes' team of experts is tipping Man City to walk away with a 2-1 win, putting the pressure on Arsenal in the process.

In gameweek 24's biggest match, Tottenham host Manchester City in London on Sunday at 16:30, with Thomas Frank aiming to do a league double over Pep Guardiola.

Tottenham and Man City will both go into their game on Sunday afternoon in a positive mood, with both sides having secured a spot in the top eight of the Champions League this week.

Outside of Europe though, Tottenham and Man City are having very different seasons, with Spurs in the bottom half of the Premier League table, and Guardiola's side still in the title race with Arsenal.

We aren't expecting any major shocks here, with Man City having enough quality and firepower to beat an off-colour Tottenham side who drew to Burnley in their last league outing.

Check out our in-depth preview for the clash, including predictions, lineups and tips for your Tottenham vs Man City bet builder.

Tottenham vs Man City match details

• Fixture: Tottenham vs Man City

• Date: Sunday, February 1, 2026

• Kick-off: 16:30 GMT

• Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Our prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Man City

Tottenham may have beaten Man City earlier on in the season, but Guardiola and co have improved massively since then, as evidenced by the fact they remain in the hunt for the Premier League title come the end of the season.

City have been leaky in defence, so we do expect Tottenham to score, but the 2023/24 Premier League winners have enough firepower up front to see off Spurs and walk away with all three points.

Tottenham

Our predicted XI (3-4-3): Vicario / Danso, Romero, van de Ven / Udogie, Palhinha, Gallagher, Spence / Simons, Solanke, Odobert

Man City

Our predicted XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma / Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O'Reilly / Rodri, Bernardo, Foden / Semenyo, Haaland, Cherki

Tottenham vs Man City bet builder tips

Antoine Semenyo to have two shots on target

New signings often take time to hit the ground running, especially in January, but that cannot be said for Antoine Semenyo following his big-money move to Man City earlier on this month.

The former Bournemouth winger has continued his great form this season since moving up north, scoring three goals in his first four games in all competitions for Guardiola's side.

We expect Semenyo to be heavily involved in his side's attacking play here, registering two or more shots on target against Spurs, a side he scored against as recently as January 7.

Semenyo averages 1.3 shots on target this season, but he managed two against Wolves on Saturday for Man City, and we expect more of the same this weekend.

Cristian Romero to be carded

He may be Spurs' captain and one of their most important players, but you'd be hard pressed to find a Spurs fan who won't admit that Romero plays on the edge at times.

Romero has picked up eight yellow cards across his 18 Premier League starts this season, also being given a red card in Spurs' home match against Liverpool on December 20.

His yellows tend to come in big games, having been disciplined against Newcastle, Arsenal and Man United this season, as well as against City in the reverse fixture at the beginning of the season.

It's by no means a guarantee, but don't be too surprised to see the hard-tackling defender carded against Man City this weekend.

Cristian Romero to have a shot

Back to Romero, and we're also tipping the Argentinian defender to take a shot against Man City this weekend.

Despite being a defender, Romero has popped up with some very important goals for his side this season, finding the back of the net four times in the Premier League under Thomas Frank.

Romero is a real threat from dead ball situations, something that Frank will look to exploit against Man City, a side who won't allow Spurs to carve out many chances from open play.

Averaging 0.8 shots a game, leg three of our Tottenham vs Man City bet builder will come in if Romero has an attempt in this weekend's game.

Man City to beat Tottenham

We finish our Tottenham vs Man City bet builder with a match betting element, with our team of experts tipping Guardiola and co to walk away with all three points.

It's safe to say that Man City remain in the title race, and they need to win to keep the pressure on Arsenal, regardless of whether or not the Gunners beat Leeds the day prior.

City may not be at their best, but they have experienced players who have been involved in many title races over the years. As such, we can't see them dropping points to an out-of-form Spurs this weekend.
