Tottenham vs Manchester City Prediction. Football. England. Premier League. 1 February 2026

Tottenham have been playing uncertainly since the start of the championship. The beginning of the tournament was promising, but recent matches indicate problems both in defence and in attack. Manchester City put together a decent run of six consecutive victories, but then they began to experience difficulties, which are likely related to accumulated fatigue.

In the current season, the team has been very inconsistent. The players cannot find their game and are settling for very modest results. At the moment, they have only 28 points. In the 23 rounds played, they managed to win only 7 times. There is currently information that the owners of Tottenham are actively discussing the dismissal of head coach Thomas Frank due to the team’s unsatisfactory results. The situation was worsened by recent matches against teams from the lower part of the standings, in which the squad failed to secure victories. This instability affects the team’s performances. However, it is worth noting the team’s success in the UEFA Champions League, where the players managed to collect 17 points in 8 matches. In addition, the English side have problems with their squad. Many players are injured and will not be able to take part in the match.

With 46 points, the team sits in second place in the domestic league table and trails the main competitor of the current season, Arsenal, by only 4 points. The players’ mindset for the upcoming match is extremely serious. They can no longer afford mistakes. The team have dropped many points in their last five matches, and each subsequent setback could be fatal for them. The squad received several reinforcements at the beginning of the year. Head coach Pep Guardiola knows how to prepare the team for matches, but he has lost five first-team players due to injuries. It will be interesting to see the new player combinations.

4-3-3: Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, João Palhinha, Conor Gallagher, Dejan Kulusevski, Randal Kolo Muani, Dominic Solanke.

4-3-3: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Rúben Dias, Marc Guéhi, Nathan Aké, Rico Lewis, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Omar Marmoush.

Tottenham:

James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall.

Manchester City:

Mateo Kovačić, Joško Gvardiol, Rúben Dias, John Stones, Oscar Bobb, Jérémy Doku.

The most accurate information on the lineups will be published on the official club pages on matchday.
