Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has had a challenging start to life in England. Recently, the former Barcelona boss admitted his side's defeat in the title race after a 4-0 thumping against Everton.

Although that could be true, Manchester City still have a lot to play for. Finishing in the Champions League places is mandatory for a club like City and they must improve in order to achieve a top four finish.

City vs Spurs

When Tottenham come to town this Sunday, City's credentials will be put to another stern test.

Mauricio Pochettino's men are in outstanding form right now and have now won their last six outings in the Premier League. Furthermore, they have managed to become a bit of nemesis for City as well. The Londoners have emerged victorious in their last three outings against the Etihad outfit.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have lost two of their last three league games and have already lost big games against Liverpool, Chelsea and United.

In addition to that, Tottenham are without doubt the best defensive unit in the country right now. They have conceded the fewest number of goals and City will find it hard to break them down. Judging by the contrasting form of both teams, betting on Spurs to win with a clean sheet (11/2 with Bet365) could prove to be a banker.

Manchester City have had a tough time at the back this season. The addition of John Stones has not helped too much. On the other hand, Spurs have been relentless in front of the goal. Harry Kane has scored 6 goals in his last 4 games and is .

Also, Christian Eriksen has scored on both of his previous visits to the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League. Bet on him to .

Yaya City

Tottenham will be looking to close the gap with League leaders Chelsea this weekend and Manchester City will be hoping to bounce back from their recent slump. With both sides desperate for a win, it could turn out to be an open game. The last six matches between these two sides have produced a total of 22 goals and this one might just follow suit. Ladbrokes are offering odds of .

To sum it up, Tottenham have got all the tools to grind out a statement win here. They will be playing a nervy Manchester City side that is lacking on confidence. That said, City do have the quality to punish anyone on their day and Spurs cannot take them for granted.

Prediction: Manchester City 1-3 Tottenham
