TEAM FORM -- Spurs LWDWD ------- WDWWL ----- (All Competitions)
In all competitions, City have lost 3 of their last 5 away games against us (W2), losing their most recent game in April 2019 in the Champions League. They have won their last 5 Premier League (PL) away games in North London (vs Arsenal and us) - as many as they had in their first 40 such games in the competition (W5 D10 L25). No team has ever won 6 consecutive top flight games against us and Arsenal.
Man City have scored in each of their last 23 PL away games, since a 0-2 loss at Chelsea in December 2018 - Only Arsenal (27 in November 2002) and Man Utd (24 in August 2002) have had longer such runs in the competition's history.
Man City's defender Aymeric Laporte has ended on the winning side in 42 of his 49 PL appearances - the record for wins in the first 50 games for any player is 42, shared by Drogba, Robben and Edersen. Kevin De Bruyne became the first player in PL history to provide 15+ assist in three different campaigns (15 in 2019 - 20, 16 in 2017-18 and 18 in 2016-17). De Bruyne has averaged an assist every 180 minutes in the PL, the best such ration in the competition' history
We are winless in 6 PL games against City (D2 L4) since a 2-0 win in October 2016 at White Hart Lane. Only Everton (26) have we won more PL matches than we have against Man City (23), 7 of our last 10 PL wins against City have come on home soil. We have lost two of our six home league matches under Jose (W4), as many as we lost in our final 15 home games under Poch (W9 D4).
This is the 23rd meeting in all competitions between Jose and Pep. Jose has lost 10 games Pep, 4 more than any other manager. Dele has had a hand in 9 goals in 16 games under Jose in all competitions (6 goals, 3 assists), three times as many as he had registered under Poch this season (2 goals, 1 assist in 10 appearances)
