Tottenham vs Man City 3/1 Bet Builder | Tipster Wizard

Foden is likely to play upfront here for Manchester City as he did in the previous round against Watford. He had six shots on goal in that game, going close on a few occasions.

He has scored two goals in just two Champions League appearances and will look to get on the scoresheet against a rotated Tottenham side who have been vulnerable in defence. He is also a capable goalscorer from outside the box which gives this selection a big boost.

With Manchester City likely fielding a heavily rotated lineup, Tottenham will feel they have an opportunity to cause a cup upset. This selection landed for both Tottenham and Manchester City in their previous round of this competition against Coventry and Watford respectively and I expect another open game with a lot of end-to-end action where both teams will fancy their chances of finding the back of the net.

Tottenham have scored in four of their five home games so far this season while City have scored in all five games on the road.

We have a card-happy referee in Robert Jones for this cup clash who is averaging close to six cards per game this season. Considering a spot in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup is on the line, I expect cynical fouls in the second half, especially if one of the teams go into the half time break with a lead.

Tottenham have received a yellow card in nine of their ten domestic fixtures including their cup game against Coventry while City have also been cautioned at least once in nine of their ten domestic fixtures. A second half card should be pretty much a banker here.
