Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur Picks
Arguably the game of the round, the new look Spurs against a rejuvenated Man City could be a seriously fun match.
Both sides scored three or more goals and looked a constant threat. Both of their opponents are expected to finish low in the table and this will be a completely different test for each side.
Spurs have been a bogey side for Man City on occasions but with-it being Thomas Frank’s second game in charge, I think City steal this one late on.
Other markets include Erling Haaland to score, Richarlison to have two or more shots on target and Tijjani Reijnders to get two or more assists.
