Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to get their first Premier League win of 2026 when they host Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Undoubtedly the biggest game of the Premier League weekend, Tottenham Hotspur entertain Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the hope of registering their first win of 2026.
Thomas Frank headed into midweek’s Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt under intense pressure after drawing 2-2 with relegation-threatened Burnley. Cristian Romero’s 90th-minute leveller helped Spurs salvage a point at Burnley, but that did not stop the travelling fans at Turf Moor from booing Thomas Frank after the game.
The Dane wanted a response from his boys and got it against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Lilywhites comfortably dispatched the German side 2-0 to book a place in the Champions League Round of 16.
Meanwhile, Manchester City advanced to the Champions League knockout rounds as well following a 2-0 success over Turkish champions Galatasaray. The Sky Blues must be raring to avenge August’s home defeat to Tottenham when they travel to north London on Sunday.

Team News for Tottenham and Manchester City
Thomas Frank is hopeful of having Micky van de Ven back for the visit of Man City after missing the Frankfurt fixture with a minor injury. Yves Bissouma, Conor Gallagher, Radu Dragusin, and Mathys Tel should all be available after they were not registered in the Lilywhites’ Champions League squad.
As for Man City, Jeremy Doku will miss the Tottenham game after being forced off with a calf injury against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday night. He has joined the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Savinho, John Stones, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol on the sidelines. Pep Guardiola will welcome Antoine Semenyo back into the team for the trip to Spurs after he was not eligible to play in the Champions League until the knockout rounds.

TTLB prediction for Tottenham vs. Manchester City
Tottenham finds itself riding a disastrous run of form, winning only twice in its last 14 Premier League fixtures. This sees Frank’s side languish 14th in the table. However, City have shown chink in their armour in recent performances, winning just one of their last five league games.
So, Spurs will get chances to hurt Guardiola’s side, who have some experienced defenders unavailable due to injury problems. If we can defend resolutely, frustrate City, and get through an expected early storm, Frank and Co. have players to hurt the visitors from Manchester. However, City have a terrific attacking unit, spearheaded by Haaland, that will certainly ask questions of Tottenham’s defence. If their attack clicks, Guardiola’s side can run riot in N17.
Given the amount of injuries Tottenham has, coupled with their woeful home form, City will go as favourites in this clash.
Score prediction: Tottenham 1-3 Manchester City
