Best bet:
A big call in the hope that the hosts will not be too leggy, but worth the gamble at this price. Pep Guardiola is a good man-manager and will be determined to see his men bounce back. They are quick starters, opening the scoring in midweek inside four minutes and in the opening 10 minutes in two of their last three Premier League games - and the other game was after just 10 minutes. This season they have scored in the opening quarter of an hour an impressive 24 times. Spurs could be forgiven for a laboured start and a slightly rotated City can punish them and set the tone for this game. With the 11-20 minute period at 17/4, we are going for small stakes on each with a nice profit should either land.
Stats:
A player stats bet which caught the eye for value. It is slightly risky with Bernardo due to Guardiola's rotation but the Portuguese playmaker has been one of City's top performers this season and he could get the nod here. The 24-year-old has six goals and seven assists to his name in the Premier League, averaging just under two shots per game. With his advanced midfield role and the majority of possession you would expect City to have, he can at least register a shot on target. Spurs' Lucas, meanwhile, scored a hat-trick in his last league outing and will need to step up again in Harry Kane's absence. He has had eight shots in his last three league appearances and his energy could be key for Tottenham, so the price for both these players to have one each is very much appealing.
