It’s all getting a bit tight at the top of the Premier League as we head into ‘week 7’ in the English top-flight and we’ve a game that’s sure to have a big bearing on the title race this Saturday.

Manchester City host Tottenham in the 5:30pm game and neutrals will be hoping for another 2-3 thriller this fixture threw at us last season.

No spoilers to see City as short as 1.36 in the match betting, with the Draw 5.50 and Spurs at 7.50.

But Spurs fans will know that in addition to their 2-3 win in this game last term they also took three points off the Champions at home. In short, Spurs are a bit of a bogey side for City in recent years – with the Londoners having won 4 of their last 5 over City and have lost just one of their last 6 against the Blue Moon.

Both teams didn’t score in 5 of the last 6 either, with one of the sides able to keep a cleansheet – you can back this again at 2.00.

We’ve also had 4 of the last 6 games go Under 2.5 Goals, so even though we were spoiled with a ‘goal-fest’ last season, this match-up generally sees under 3 goals scored – back Under 2.5 Goals at 2.75.

Looking at the scoring markets, no shockers to see Erling Haaland, who has already scored 10 league goals, at 3.50 (1st) or 1.66 (anytime) – he’s netted in 5 of City’s opening 6 league games.

Harry Kane has made a good start to the season too – the England captain has fired in 5 goals from their first 6 league games and will be popular too at 9.00 (1st) or 3.50 (anytime).

Overall, it’s all set up to be a cracking clash and a win for either side will be huge in their title race hopes. Yes, City are the obvious call here, but they do look short at 1.36 here and Villa showed last weekend they are not invincible when they held them to a 1-1 draw.

– Spurs/Draw option in the ‘Double Chance’ market at 3.00.
