Gameweek 26’s last hurrah has the potential to cause huge waves on the Fantasy landscape, given that the last five league meetings between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur harvested 23 goals. The Sky Blues are licking their wounds in the wake of a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City, while Spurs will attempt to record their fifth successive victory.
Tottenham were the league’s standout attacking force over the previous four Gameweeks, tallying the most goals (11), attempts (92), shots inside the box (54) and shots on target (36). They’ve typically excelled on their travels this term, too, ranking third for goals scored (22) and top for accurate shots (70). At the other end of the pitch, Spurs chart second-bottom for shots inside the box allowed (17) and joint-bottom for big chances conceded (three) since Gameweek 22.
Notwithstanding their disappointing display against the Foxes, Man City ranked fourth for goals (eight), joint-third for attempts (62), joint-third for shots inside the box (39) and fourth for shot-conversion rate (12.9%) over the last four Gameweeks. From a defensive perspective, Spurs will be heartened by the fact that only three teams conceded more big chances (seven) than Manuel Pellegrini’s charges during that period.
