Harry Redknapp reveals what he thinks will happen in Man City vs Tottenham

3 hours ago 33

Tottenham Hotspur face a tough task away to Man City and Harry Redknapp has revealed where he thinks the game could be won or lost.

The Premier League got up and running last weekend, and both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City easily saw off their opponents. The two sides managed to score seven goals between them against Burnley and Wolves respectively.

Spurs found the net twice against PSG in the week building up to their opening league game, so finding the back of the net does not appear to be a problem. However, Tottenham only have so many available players up front, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski out with long-term injuries.

Despite this, there have been no recent additions to the Tottenham first-team squad. This is not for a lack of trying. Arsenal swooped in for Eberechi Eze at the last minute, a player who looked almost certain to be on his way to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Now, Spurs must rely on their current front three, who all bagged at least one goal contribution against Burnley.

Harry Redknapp is concerned by Tottenham’s lack of attacking options

Harry Redknapp has made his BetVictor Premier League predictions and he is worried for Tottenham. Their attack may have been firing against a newly promoted team, but the former Spurs boss is not convinced it will be strong enough to bring down a club looking to reclaim their Premier League crown.

He said: “What a game this could be, two sides that really started in style. I thought City were outstanding away to Wolves, I was very impressed. They were full of energy, and they were so slick, it could have been more.

“Thomas Frank has started well as Tottenham boss, they looked good against Burnley last week. They definitely seem organised, but I worry about them going forward, they look light in the attacking areas.

“I think they’ll definitely be goals in this one, but I’m going for City. 3-1.”

Redknapp is right to be concerned about Spurs

Last week, Brennan Johnson was played out of position and questions were raised about the Tottenham midfield in the first half due to a lack of creativity.

In fairness, Pape Matar Sarr looks to be improving as a more attacking-minded player in the middle of the pitch, but strengthening with a new attacking midfielder before the transfer window closes is essential.

The left wing remains a concern, too. Johnson may have scored a goal last Saturday, but he is a right winger. Mathys Tel has clearly failed to earn the trust of his manager at this point in time, which leaves Spurs short on options. If they are to get any result at all against Man City, Richarlison will need to be at his best once more.
