Manchester City and Tottenham are set to face off at the home stadium, with City recently recording four draws in their last five second-tier matches. Similarly, Tottenham has also been seeing frequent stalemates, with four draws in their last seven EFL Cup games.
Tottenham’s EFL Cup performances have generally featured goals, with only one goalless game in their last 20 matches, making them relatively consistent in this regard. Manchester City has seen a similar trend, with just two scoreless games out of their recent 20, though the two teams’ results have varied considerably.
Tottenham, the defending EFL Cup champions, has been exciting to watch lately, with both teams finding the net in eight of their last nine games. Manchester City has had a similar pattern, with goals on both sides in ten of their last 12 away EFL Cup matches, making a shutout unlikely in this clash.
Prediction
Tottenham’s form has been disappointing, with just two points from a possible 23 and four straight home losses. Manchester City, in contrast, has won nine of their last 12 EFL Cup matches, including a four-game winning streak.
Prediction: Tottenham 1 : 2 Manchester City
