Manchester City and Tottenham face off tonight in a heavyweight Premier League showdown.
The 2-1 defeat at Brighton before the international break condemned Pep Guardiola to a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time in his storied managerial career. While it would of course be foolish to write City off, they can ill afford this slump to continue for much longer given the searing pace leaders Liverpool are setting in the title race thus far.
Still, the fact Guardiola has extended his contract with the club should help settle matters down.

Spurs, who knocked City out of the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 win at home last month, are also looking to get back on track.
Inconsistency remains a huge problem for Ange Postecoglou’s side, who lost 2-1 to newly-promoted Ipswich before the international break. So frustrating is their form, Postecoglou shouldered the blame after the disappointing defeat to the Tractor Boys.

Man City vs Tottenham prediction
It’s difficult to know where either team will be after the break and, naturally, a lot depends on injuries.
Still, as poor as City have been of late, it’s almost impossible to imagine them losing for a fifth consecutive game.
Man City to win, 3-1.
