Manchester City are favourites for tomorrow

The match between Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) and Manchester City is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 4:30 PM GMT (11:30 AM ET) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League (Matchweek 24).As of today (January 31, 2026), the game hasn’t been played yet, so no winner is determined. This is a highly anticipated clash, with Spurs hosting City in what previews describe as a tricky fixture despite the hosts’ struggles.

Current Context

---------------

Tottenham (around 14th place, ~28 points) are in poor Premier League form: winless in its last five league games (draws and losses), with a dismal home record (only two wins in 11 home league matches this season). They’re dealing with a long injury list (including key players like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Pedro Porro, Richarlison, and others; Micky van de Ven is doubtful). However, they beat City 2-0 earlier this season at the Etihad and have historically troubled Pep Guardiola (he’s lost more games to Spurs than any other club).

Manchester City (2nd place, ~46 points) are chasing leaders Arsenal (four points behind) and have regained momentum with recent wins (e.g., 2-0 over Wolves in the league and in Europe). They’ve strengthened in January with signings like Antoine Semenyo (in hot form) and Marc Guéhi. City have won the last two league visits to Spurs’ stadium, though this fixture has been unpredictable.

Predictions from Previews

-------------------------

Most analysts and betting odds favor Manchester City to win:Opta supercomputer gives City a ~46.9% win probability (Spurs ~28.7%, draw ~24.4%).

Common score predictions include City wins like 2-1 or 3-1. Betting markets list City as strong favourites (around 1.65–1.76 odds to win), with Spurs as underdogs (~4+).

Some previews note City’s defensive issues and Spurs’ potential to score or draw (e.g., 2-2 or 1-2), citing Thomas Frank’s past success against Guardiola and City’s injury concerns (e.g., Gvardiol, Dias, Stones out).

This could be high-scoring or cagey, given both teams’ attacking talent (Haaland for City, Solanke/Simons/Odobert for Spurs) but Spurs’ depleted squad and poor home form tilting it toward City. Arsenal fans might secretly hope Spurs pull off an upset to help the title race!
