The end of the English Premier League season is now right around the corner with just one scheduled matchday remaining. Despite being so close to the end of the campaign, the Premier League title race is far from over with Arsenal and Manchester City neck-and-neck in the fight for top spot.
Manchester City currently trail the Gunners by a sole point, but the title is still very much in City’s hands as they hold a game advantage that could see them move top if they record a victory.
This game in hand has fast become one of the most talked about games of the season so far with it pitting Manchester City up against Arsenal’s rivals Tottenham Hotspur, a side that City have struggled against away from home in recent years.
Read on as we take a deeper look at this game and pick out our top tips and booking codes:
Manchester City to win, 1.38
Man City may have struggled in this fixture in recent seasons, losing all of the last four visits to the Spurs home ground in the Premier League, while they picked up their first win in six visits across all competitions in the FA Cup in January.
However, that victory for City will give them the confidence they need to be able to pick up a victory from this game, and with the stakes being so high, with the Premier League title potentially on the line, there will be no lack of motivation for the reigning champions.
Pep Guardiola’s side have plenty of experience in difficult games that could determine whether they become champions or not over the past years, and they so often manage to pull of victories and take the title home. We believe they will use this experience to help get over the line in this game and take a crucial three points home.

Phil Foden to score anytime, 2.50
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.55
Since making his debut for City, Foden has been something of a rotational player for Pep Guardiola’s side, making plenty of appearances from the start and off the bench. This season, however, Foden has become one of the most influential players in the side, recording his most Premier League starts, goals and assists.
31 starts from 33 appearances in the league is the most he has made since 2021/22 when he started 24 games for the club. 17 goals, six more than his previous best, and eight assists, three more than his previous best, in this time has seen Foden not only become a vital player in City’s push for the title, but seen the Englishman become one of the favourites to be crowned PFA Player Of The Year.
He comes into this game having scored three goals in his last three appearances and with goals in hugely important moments throughout the season, including netting at the Santiago Bernabeu, a hat-trick against Aston Villa and four goals in two games against rivals Manchester United. For these reasons, we believe that Foden is going to once again prove his worth and get on the scoresheet here.
If you want another goalscorer to add to your betslip and boost your odds, Erling Haaland is the man. With five goals in his last three and 25 league goals for the season, expect Haaland to cause Tottenham’s high defence line havoc and get on the scoresheet too.

Manchester City to score over 2.5 goals, 1.81
Manchester City may have only scored one goal in their last six visits to Tottenham’s home ground, but they come into this one in phenomenal scoring form that leads us to believe they will manage over 2.5 goals this time around.
They have scored a massive 91 goals in 36 league games this season, the most of any side in the division, while they have scored 143 goals across all competitions throughout the campaign. With players such as Erling Haaland and Foden also come into this one in fantastic form in front of goal and against an open Tottenham team, we believe City will score over 2.5 goals tonight.
