Tottenham vs Manchester City Preview & Prediction (20:00 KO)
Looking to end their 16-year trophyless streak, Tottenham are in FA Cup fourth round action on Friday evening and face a tough task in hosting the reigning champions and treble-winners Manchester City.
With no European involvement and an early exit in the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup is undoubtedly Ange Postecoglou’s best hope of lifting a trophy in his first season with the North London club.
They come into the clash unbeaten in three consecutive matches, most recently playing out a 2-2 stalemate against Manchester United, and beating Burnley and Bournemouth in the prior fixtures, meanwhile the Cityzens are unbeaten in nine and have won each of their last six games across all competitions.
The pair are separated by just three points in the Premier League table, although City have a game-in-hand, with Pep Guardiola’s side currently occupying second place, while Spurs are in fifth.
Incredibly, Manchester City have never won at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, losing each of their five appearances at the ground in the last five years. Spurs will be without several key players for this one though, with the likes of Pape Sarr, Heung-min Son and Yves Bissouma all away on international duty.
We at SportsLens anticipate that Tottenham’s unbeaten record against City at their new ground will be brought to an end, and are backing Guardiola and his men to finally get one over the 2018/19 Champions League finalists.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Manchester City

Tottenham vs Manchester City Betting Tip 1: Manchester City To Win @ 8/13
Our first tip for your Friday night Tottenham vs Manchester City FA Cup fourth round bet builder is to back the Cityzens to win the match, priced by leading UK betting sites at 8/13.
As previously alluded to, City are displaying some incredible form at the minute. Guardiola’s side have won each of their last six competitive matches, and are unbeaten in nine successive games, with their only defeat since October coming against Aston Villa at the beginning of last month.
The reigning champions dominantly dispatched Huddersfield 5-0 in the last round, and fought from behind to overcome Newcastle in their latest league match. Kevin De Bruyne returned to action in that one too, scoring the leveller five minutes after being introduced, before assisting the injury-time winner.
Not only that, but star striker Erling Haaland could return to the fray, although it is largely expected that he won’t be risked as City do not want to risk aggravating his foot injury with an early return.
Tottenham vs Manchester City Betting Tip 2: Richarlison To Score Anytime @ 13/5
Spurs frontman Richarlison has been in excellent form as of late, and has seriously stepped up his game since the start of December with six goals in his last six league matches.
A brace against Newcastle kickstarted this goalscoring run, before goals against Nottingham Forest, Everton, Bournemouth, and most recently Manchester United provided him with what has likely been his best spell in a Tottenham shirt.
We at SportsLens are confident that Spurs will score at least once on Friday night, and feel as though the Brazilian has the best chance at achieving that feat – especially in the absence of club captain Son. Priced by leading UK bookmakers at 13/5, we’re backing Richarlison to score at anytime in the fourth round.
