Tottenham will host Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, February 5.
The previous game between the sides ended in Manchester City's comeback win from 2-0 to 4-2 in January.
Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has stated his prediction on Sportskeeda. According to Merson, City will celebrate 2-1 victory.
"The pressure's going to be on Manchester City this week. They'll probably be eight points behind Arsenal when they play this game, and they can't afford anything less than a win here. If they don't beat Tottenham, I don't see how they can make up the difference.
"I think Julian Alvarez would start in any other football team. He's a very good player, and he changed the game against Arsenal. Erling Haaland is going to start up front, with Mahrez on the right - these guys are shoo-ins.
"At the moment, Pep Guardiola seems to fancy Grealish more than Foden. Pep knows what he's doing - he pushes players, gets the best out of them for as long as he can, and then changes it up. It's quite clever how he does it, and he's fortunate to have the players to do it.
"Something has definitely happened with Joao Cancelo. I know he's come out and denied it, but something's gone on. He was one of the best players in the Premier League last season, and now he's on loan at Bayern Munich - I don't see how that deal happens.
"Man City are playing on a lot of fronts, and an injury could end their season. Cancelo has played in the Champions League and he's been a big player for City. I'm shocked, and I don't believe that nothing's happened.
"Manchester City have a nice fixture list in the Premier League after this game, and this is a big match. Tottenham will sit back and make it hard for them, but City should be able to win this game."
