Spurs Return To Scene of Devastation
Tottenham lost 6-0 and 5-1 to the eventual champions last season and we should expect to see goals again.
The defending champions should win this fixture with something to spare but there’s no value to be had in betting along those terms so we should instead focus on goals.
Last season Tottenham conceded 25 times in 6 outings against the eventual top three and the jury is still out on whether they have really improved in 2014-15. Man City won this fixture 6-0 last November and then the reverse 5-1 at White Hart Lane so there are plenty of psychological scars for the Londoners to overcome.
The good news for Mauricio Pochettino is that where there’s Christian Eriksen, there’s hope. The Danish international is a major reason why Spurs have scored in each of their last four and another contribution here could help us win a wager on over 3.5 goals in the match at best odds of 33/20 with Sportingbet.
