Spurs vs Man City Predictions: 01.02.2026 - Premier League Betting Tips

Spurs vs Man City

Spurs take on title contenders Man City on Sunday afternoon hoping to cause an upset and close the gap on the top 10. After both sides were successful in the Champions League midweek, attention turns to improving recent performances - and results - in the Premier League.

Our Premier League expert Nathan Joyes analyses the match and provides his best prediction.

Spurs sinking quickly

With just three points from a possible 15, Thomas Frank is on thin ice with his side hurtling down the table.

Although eight points clear of the bottom three, only Burnley and Crystal Palace are in worse form at present.

Admittedly, Frank is getting a tune out of his side on the European stage, but they won't be returning if they continue to fall short domestically.

Wins over German duo Dortmund and Frankfurt were positives, but a defeat against West Ham and home draw vs Burnley either side has certainly dampened the mood.

With no Premier League win in 2026, fans are becoming increasingly impatient with Frank and his staff - and it may be time for a new manager if that doesn't change in February.

Man City need a result

Despite still sitting in second, Pep Guardiola's side have also been putting in poor performances in 2026. A midweek win over Galatasaray was needed - but fans know there's serious work to do in the Premier League if they are to challenge Arsenal for the title.

With just six points from their last five matches, Guardiola's side have only found the back of the net on four occasions. It has been uncharacteristically bad from his side in January.

The good news for Man City is that there are still 15 matches to play - and yet only four points that separates themselves and the Gunners. One win could swing momentum in their favour.

But after two away defeats on the bounce, conceding five and scoring just one, something needs to change - and fast - in order for that to happen.

Spurs vs Man City H2H

Spurs have won three of the last five meetings - with two of those victories coming at the Etihad. However, Man City have won three of their last five visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - keeping three clean sheets along the way. Only one of the last five matches at this stadium have produced over 2.5 match goals.

Our Spurs vs Man City betting tip

With Spurs continuing to be uninspiring in the Premier League, Man City have a golden opportunity to once again put the pressure on Arsenal. However, Guardiola's side still need to improve after an inconsistent January.

Nathan Joyes has taken a look at the Premier League odds for this match and puts his best bet forward.

Man City to make it three in a row

Spurs (10/3 with Betfred) are sinking without trace and the longer Thomas Frank keeps his job, the closer they are to being dragged into an unwanted relegation scrap. Form in Europe has been excellent, but the Premier League is a different beast - and Spurs are continuing to fall short - no matter who they face.

Man City (8/11 with Betano) may have endured some difficult results throughout the first month of 2026 but head to the capital on the back of two wins and two clean sheets.

They often enjoy their trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - and may be facing the weakest Spurs side for quite some time. Having lost three of their last five home matches, Man City know an early goal will turn the crowd - and that may be all that is required.

This isn't a fixture that produces many goals, and with Man City showing more defensive resilience in their last two matches, Guardiola's side represent good value to pinch the three points and pile on the misery this weekend.
