Man City welcome Spurs to the Etihad stadium on Sunday afternoon still reeling from a sense of injustice in their midweek encounter with Ajax, which all but ended their chances of making the knock-out stages of the Champions League.

Best match odds  –

City – 8/13 (Paddy Power)

Draw – 10/3 (Sky Bet)

Spurs – 5/1 (Bet365)

Whatever city's failings are in the Champions League, it's a different story in the Premier League where they remain unbeaten this season and if that’s not impressive enough then they have gone 34 games without defeat at home.

City's last six Premier League games read 4 wins and 2 draws with 9 goals scored and 3 conceded (hardly a crisis some would lead you to believe)

Spurs arrive at the Etihad on the back of a defeat at home to Wigan, although surprisingly they are on a run of 3 away league wins (they haven’t won 4 away in a row since April 1989).

Spurs last six Premier League games read 4 wins with 2 defeats (both at home) with 11 goals scored and 9 conceded.

Tottenham actually don’t have a bad record away at City and only Chelsea and Arsenal have won more Premier League games at City. (Spurs have won 9 times at City in the league)

That said its difficult to know which Spurs are going to show up, the team that beat Man Utd at Old Trafford or the one that lost to Wigan at home, where as with City you are certain of one thing.. they will be very difficult to beat especially a frustrated and wound up Manchester City.
