Prediction: 3-1
Tottenham
Manchester City will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Tottenham in the Premier League round 12. The Citizens have been struggling to find their form ever since key midfielder Rodri suffered a long-term injury, but the good news for Pep Guardiola is that fellow ace Kevin De Bruyne has overcome his problem. The Belgian international is widely expected to start against Spurs, whereas both John Stones and Ruben Dias are major doubts.
The capital club, on the other hand, suffered an embarrassing 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Ipswich Town before the international break. Considering that Man City are in need for points, we predict that Ange Postecoglou’s troops are going to return to London with their hands empty. Brazil striker Richarlison is injured for the visiting team, while defender Micky van de Ven is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Nathan Ake):
Ake is a professional footballer who plays for the Dutch National Team and AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League. The versatile defender who was born on the 18th of February, 1995, started his youth career in 2003 with local club ADO Den Haag. He then moved to Feyenoord in 2007 before joining Chelsea's youth academy four years later.
Ake made his first professional appearance at the age of 17, playing for the Blues in a 0-1 away victory against Norwich on the 26th of December, 2012. Barring a few starts and substitute appearances, Ake spent his next few years at Chelsea mostly in the reserves before being sent out on a one month loan to Reading in 2015. Upon his return, he immediately joined Watford on a season-long loan where his displays earned him the Watford's young player of the season award. Another successful loan spell at Bournemouth succeeded his time at Watford before Chelsea recalled him in January 2017.
At the start of the 17/18 season, the 24-year-old rejoined his current club Bournemouth permanently on a five-year contract worth 20 million pounds. On the International stage, Ake has represented the Netherlands at every youth level and has even captained the under-17 and under-19 sides. He made his first senior appearance on the 31st of May, 2017, featuring in Hollands 2-1 friendly win over Morocco.
