Summary:
Manchester City, the EPL’ s best attacking team, meats the best defensive team in Tottenham. Tottenham will be without top striker Harry Kane who led the league in goals a season ago. That’s a big loss for a team who is opportunistic in their attacking chances. Manchester City has proven to be the class of the EPL in the early going not only by their record but also leading in nearly every statistical category. Ultimately I think Manchester City will break down the Tottenham defense at least once and win on the road.
