Tottenham start the weekend in fifth place but are only two points adrift of Manchester City. Their opponents are the current league leaders but with this game being played on Monday, they could be as low as fourth by kick-off. Spurs have won their last four league games but they were against Brighton, Huddersfield, Cardiff and West Ham, not the greatest of teams in the league. Their only games against teams who were in the top four both ended in defeats, losing at Watford and at home to Liverpool. Tottenham have only earned one point from their last three league games against Manchester City and conceded nine goals in the process. Their defence has kept three straight league clean sheets but it could well be a different story up against the power that City possess.

The defending champions are yet to taste a league defeat this season and have only dropped points when drawing with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool. Nine league games have seen them score 26 goals but their defence deserves some plaudits too with only three conceded to date. They have kept three straight league and cup defeats and even Liverpool couldn't score against them. It's five Premier League clean sheets in a row with the last goal scored against them being in September. City have gone 15 league games without defeat and have won eight of their last ten Premier League away games with only Liverpool beating them in the last 26 on the road. Tottenham know a defeat here will leave them five points behind, that looks the most likely result with City in such dominant form.
