Manchester City vs. Tottenham prediction, odds, line: Expert reveals English Premier League picks for Feb. 19

Manchester City is on a roll and faces a floundering Tottenham squad on Saturday in an English Premier League matchup at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England. City (20-3-2) has one loss and one draw in its last 21 matches in all competitions, and that was a 2-1 setback to RB Leipzig in a meaningless Champions League group-stage finale. Manchester City leads the league by nine points over Liverpool and thumped Norwich 4-0 in its last league match before hammering Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in the UCL on Tuesday. Tottenham (11-3-8) is eighth in the Premier League table and has lost three straight league games, though it took a 3-1 win against Brighton in its FA Cup match two weeks ago. 

Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists City as the -370 favorite (risk $370 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Manchester City vs. Tottenham odds, with Spurs the +1100 underdog. A draw is listed at +460, while the over-under for total goals scored is set at 2.5.

Why you should back Manchester City

City is 10-1-1 at the Etihad this season, scoring 34 goals and allowing just six. It is tied for the league lead in goals with 61 and has conceded just 14, the fewest in the EPL. The Cityzens also are the leaders in shots (454) and attempts on target (160) and control the ball for more than 68 percent of their games. Star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne plays a big role in that, and he has seven goals. He leads the league in shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (5.53) and is third in key passes (53).    

The squad doesn’t have a true striker, relying on a bevy of talented attackers to score, and 16 players have tallied at least once. Eight players have scored at least three times. Raheem Sterling, who had a hat trick against Norwich, is the leader with 10 league goals. Phil Foden scored the other goal against the Canaries to give him six, while Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva have seven apiece.   

Why you should back Tottenham

Despite their struggles, Spurs remain very dangerous in attack. They are led by reigning Golden Boot winner Harry Kane, who scored 23 goals last season. He has five in league play this year but has 13 in all competitions. Son Heung-Min leads the team with nine league goals, one of those coming in the season-opening win against City. Lucas Moura, who has six goals in 31 matches in all competitions, also can cause problems for defenses. Spurs are in the middle of the league pack in shots (282) but lead the EPL in percentage of attempts on target (36.9).  

Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris can stop the shots, and he is a veteran presence who is often the team captain. He has been with the team for 10 seasons, and he has a save percentage just under 72, posting clean sheets in 35 percent of his matches with the team. Rodrigo Bentancur, who had 15 assists in five seasons with Juventus, has joined a midfield that includes Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (two goals, one assist) and Harry Winks (one assist).
