Wait 5 sec.

Two of the Premier League’s heavyweights are aiming to build on strong starts to the season on Saturday afternoon when Manchester City take on Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium.City only had time for one pre-season game but they got off to a flying start at Wolves last Saturday, winning 4-0 with the help of two goals from Erling Haaland.However, they will be preparing for a tougher challenge against Tottenham, who should be feeling confident after their 3-0 victory at home to Burnley.It’s a 12:30 BST start on Saturday in front of the TNT Sport cameras with both teams in contention to finish the weekend at the top of the table.Man City vs Tottenham betting tipsManchester City and both teams to score @ 13/8 Erling Haaland to score the first goal @ 14/5 Spotlight Bet Builder Boost – was 13/2 now 15/2GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BETCity can claim another maximumManchester City started the season in superb style and can send another message to their title rivals by defeating Tottenham in a high-scoring game.Pep Guardiola will be respectful of Spurs, who have given the Citizens plenty of problems over the years and were 4-0 winners in last season’s corresponding fixture.But he will have been encouraged by his team, who were sharper than many expected on the opening weekend of the campaign.City’s only match preparation for their trip to Molineux was a 3-0 triumph at Palermo the previous weekend, but they overcame a slow start against Vitor Pereira’s side and made a tricky fixture look reasonably comfortable.Summer signing Tijjani Reijnders caught the eye with a goal and strong performance and his efforts are taking some of the pressure off of Rodri, who is still working his way back to fitness.City excelled in attack and they may need to score at least twice against Tottenham, who hit the ground running with their 3-0 victory over Burnley.Spurs looked decent in attack with Richarlison scoring a couple of goals and Mohamed Kudus providing the creative spark, but it is slightly concerning that they conceded 14 shots to a newly-promoted side.Burnley lacked the quality to capitalise but it could be a very different story against City, who remain one of the most potent teams in world football.Hungry Haaland can start the scoringErling Haaland was third in last season’s Premier League scoring charts but he looks hungry to be the top dog over the next nine months and can add to his double at Molineux with the opening goal against Tottenham.The most scary thing about Haaland is his desire to keep on improving.He was hampered by injuries last term, but looked fit and strong last weekend and showed a lot of composure and quality when the chances came his way.Haaland will be up against Tottenham’s first choice centre-back pairing – Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero – but he will be tough to stop.talkSPORT BET OfferBet £10 get £30 in free betsCLAIM HERET&Cs: 18+ New customers only.
