Manchester City travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having comfortably defeated Fulham 4-0 on the weekend.
It took just 13 minutes for Manchester City to open the scoring and they led 1-0 at the interval.
Into the second half and Manchester City added a second goal in the 59th minute, with 2 more goals coming in the final 19 minutes of the match.

This is without doubt the key fixture in the title race. Anything other than a win will leave the title out of Manchester City’s hands in the final game.
Spurs have the home advantage but have been below their best recently, which means our prediction is for Manchester City to take maximum points, with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
