Premier League: Tottenham vs. Man City Picks — Champions to Avenge Heavy Defeat against Spurs? (Feb 26)

Things are beginning to look up for Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham side after winning three on the bounce in the Premier League.

A fourth straight victory this week would see them move within touching distance of the top half of the Premier League standings.

Man City will desperately be looking for a return to form after a limp display in the final third against Liverpool on Sunday saw them suffer a 2-0 defeat. The champions have now lost two of their last three.

The former Eintracht Frankfurt forward has netted three in four Premier League appearances, and has accumulated an xG of 1.06 from his average of 3.25 shots per 90. He could find the net in a win for Man City on Wednesday.
