Manchester City started the Premier League with a resounding 4-0 win over Wolves, confirming the great form they have shown in recent months: since April, the Citizens have collected more points than anyone else (26) and have never lost. Their defensive solidity has been crucial – seven clean sheets and fewer shots conceded than anyone else – but Guardiola remains cautious. Against Tottenham, in fact, he has often suffered: nine defeats in his career, two in the last season alone, including a resounding 4-0 defeat at the Etihad.
The Spanish coach can still count on the scoring prowess of Erling Haaland, who has already scored twice on his debut and is close to a historic record: 50 home goals in less than 50 Premier League games.
On the other hand, Thomas Frank’s new Tottenham side made a convincing debut with a 3-0 win over Burnley, following a good performance in the European Super Cup against PSG. The Spurs are dreaming of winning their first two league games for the first time since 2021, and with Richarlison in form (two goals on the first day), they are aiming to surprise Guardiola once again.
The recent history between these two sides promises excitement: in the last four games in Manchester, 21 goals have been scored, with Spurs always finding the net at least twice.
