Manchester City sit top after a 4-0 opening win at Wolves while Tottenham began under Thomas Frank with a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Opta’s supercomputer gives City a 61.7% chance of winning the Etihad clash, Spurs an 18.7% chance of an upset and a 19.6% chance of a draw. Tottenham have won two of their last four Premier League visits to the Etihad, more than in the previous 11 visits combined, and seek consecutive away wins at City for the first time since 2010. City have won four of their last 12 league meetings with Spurs.
Pep Guardiola's side sit top of the standings after week one, with a 4-0 win at Wolves propelling them above the other strong starters. Spurs are not far behind, though, after beginning life in the Premier League under Thomas Frank with a 3-0 victory over newly promoted Burnley on home soil. Tottenham have often proven a tough test for Guardiola during his managerial career, and they will be hoping they can pull off another surprise as they attempt to build some early momentum.
What's expected? Unsurprisingly, City are expected to be in the mix for the title this year, putting last year's struggles behind them, and they are overwhelming favourites to continue their winning start here. City came out on top in 61.7% of the Opta supercomputer's 10,000 pre-match simulations and earned a win in their first home match of the campaign. Spurs, meanwhile, are given just an 18.7% chance of earning a surprise victory, with their hopes of a draw slightly higher at 19.6%.
