Match facts

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs have won 22 of their 38 Premier League games against City; should they win this game, they will have beaten them more often than they've defeated any other side (currently tied with 22 wins v Everton).
There have been 22 goals scored in the last five Premier League meetings between these sides at White Hart Lane (9 for Spurs, 13 for Man City).
This game pitches together the only two unbeaten teams left in the Premier League this season.
Four of Son Heung-Min's eight Premier League goals have come in his last 229 minutes of action for Spurs.

Manchester City

Manchester City have lost both of their last two Premier League meetings with Tottenham, the same number they lost in their previous 11 top-flight clashes with the Lilywhites (W8 D1).
Pep Guardiola needs a win from this game to break the record for best winning starts to a managerial career in the Premier League (currently tied with Carlo Ancelotti on six).
Sergio Aguero has scored 28 goals in his last 27 Premier League appearances for Man City.
Sergio Aguero's mins-per-goal rate of one every 106 minutes is the best rate in Premier League history, 15 minutes quicker than Thierry Henry in second place.

Predictions

City and Spurs should serve up one of the most exciting Premier League games of the season here, although there is a risk that they cancel each other out.

With both teams on a winning streak in the league, something has to give here, so perhaps a high-scoring draw with plenty of thrills and spills will be on the cards.

Final Score – 2 : 2
