EPL Match Preview : Tottenham Spurs vs Man City

After 2 successive wins here at White Hart Lane, Spurs is seems like to getting back onto their winning track once again. However, their good run was halted last weekend when they went down 1-3 to Newcastle at St. James Park.

Spurs have a very good home record here only one defeat (0-2 to Chelsea) in the 16 matches played. Robbie Keane is in extremely good form as he finds the net quite regularly. But there is some concern for his other 2 strike partners, Mido and Defoe. Mido has been rumoured to be leaving White Hart Lane, while Defoe to be up for transfer.

Spurs lying 4th on the table, is fighting for the Champion League qualifiers with in form Arsenal, who is jut 2 points behind with a match in hand (away to Portsmouth).

At Man City side, Jol will most likely be without Ledley King today though he will welcome back Teemu Tainio (recovered from throat infection) into the side. But then they are not without problems of their own. Andy Cole was suffering from a knee injury. That task is now left on the shoulders of Trevor Sinclair and Vassell.

Fortunately, Pearce may be able to call upon Claudio Reyna who has recovered after a long period on the dressing table. Key midfielder, Joey Barton is suspended and City will find that to be a big handicap especially when they have to come up against the likes of Jenas and Edgar Davies in that arena of action.

With all areas of consideration, a home win seems to be a right choice to bet on.
