Tottenham’s direct attacking style translates to consistent shots on target, making this bet an attractive option. Ranked 5th in the league for shots on target (5.5 per game), Spurs frequently test opposition goalkeepers.

Their home average increases to 5.62 per game, and they have managed 4 or more shots on target in 11 of 13 home games this season.

City concede an average of 4.46 shots on target per away match, with 8 of their last 9 opponents hitting at least 4 on target. Spurs have also managed 4 or more shots on target in 4 of their last 5 meetings with City.

Since joining City, Omar Marmoush has seamlessly stepped into a more prominent role, proving to be a consistent goal threat. The Egyptian striker averages 1.14 shots on target per game and has hit the target at least twice in 3 of his last 4 matches.

Given City’s high-scoring nature and attacking fluidity, Marmoush should see plenty of opportunities to test the Spurs keeper.

His attacking threat makes him a nightmare for defenders, often drawing fouls as a result. He has won 11 fouls in his first 6 City starts, meaning he has been fouled in every start so far.

With an average of 2.04 fouls drawn per 90 minutes, 2+ fouls won is a strong statistical play, especially as Tottenham’s midfield have committed 19 fouls in their last 3 games.

While Spurs are among the least cynical teams in the league (18th for cards accumulated), they still commit their fair share of fouls, particularly against possession-heavy teams like City. They average 10.46 fouls per home game, having committed 9 or more in 10 of 13 home matches.

City’s opponents have only hit this number in 8 of 13 away games, but Spurs have shown a historical tendency to increase their aggression in this fixture. In 12 of the last 13 head-to-head meetings, Spurs have committed at least 9 fouls, highlighting their heightened intensity in this clash.

Phil Foden remains a key attacking figure for City, even if his numbers aren’t as explosive as in previous seasons. He ranks 3rd among City players for shots per game (2.53), behind only Erling Haaland and Marmoush.

His accuracy remains reliable, with an average of 0.85 shots on target per game. He has hit at least 1 shot on target in 3 of his last 4 matches and 8 of his last 11 starts. Foden has also managed at least 1 shot on target in 4 of his last 5 games against Spurs.

Brennan Johnson has returned from injury in top form, and his recent performances suggest he could be a key player in Spurs’ attack. Johnson made an immediate impact in his first start, scoring twice against Ipswich on the weekend.

His brace took him to 14 goals for the season, making him Spurs’ leading scorer. He also scored in the reverse fixture against City, sealing Spurs’ 4-0 victory.

With his pace and finishing ability, Johnson could be a serious threat against a City defence that has looked vulnerable at times on the road.
