Manchester City Tottenham Betting Odds in English Premier League - 05-09-11

May 9 - Even though Manchester United are just one point away from securing the 2010/11 English Premier League championship for a record 19th time, there are still plenty of other premier leagues games to bet on including Tuesday's showdown between Manchester City and Tottenham.

Manchester City Tottenham betting odds

According to leading UK land and online sports betting operation William Hill, Manchester City - who are currently lying fourth in the league standings with 62 points - will host Tottenham - who are fifth in the league with 56 points - as the overwhelming 3/1 favorites.

Manchester City, who will have home ground advantage, will be eager to earn the maximum three points tomorrow night in an attempt to close the gap with third place team Arsenal (67 points), while Tottenham will be looking to move closer to dislodging City from fourth.

A victory for Manchester City would not only guarantee them a top four finish this season, but will push them to within just two points of Arsenal with two games left. Which means that the battle for coveted third position could potentially offer fans plenty of betting action.

Could end up being a very hard-fought match given the stakes

But as mouth-watering as that scenario seems, first, however, Manchester City will have to dispatch Tottenham tomorrow night which on paper should not prove that much of a challenge, but in reality could end up being a very hard-fought match considering the stakes.

There is little doubt that despite being the weaker of the two teams, Tottenham will travel to Manchester with a 'nothing to lose' attitude that could prove dangerous for the betting favourites. That said, City's respected manager Roberto Mancini will have anticipated this.

Mancini expected to feature team captain Carlos Tevez

Which is why he is expected to choose his quad for Tuesday's game with extra special care, particularly with the club's Saturday FA Cup final clash against Stoke City at s in mind. As such, he is expected to feature team captain Carlos Tevez against Tottenham.

Depending on how well Tevez plays against Tottenham will determine whether he'll make it on the pitch in Saturday's all-important match. Tottenham, meanwhile, will enjoy a boost in confidence given the fact they have not lost to Manchester City in their previous five games.
