Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City – A Dense Top Half Clash

This is an early outlook on the Premier League game between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, scheduled to take place on Saturday 21 November at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
I believe there's some slight value to be found in the total goals market.

• The 5 most recent clashed between the two teams in all competitions have indeed seen on average 3.00 goals scored (less than 2.50 goals scored in 3 of 5 games). However, 2 games at the Etihad Stadium inflate the numbers.
• The 5 most recent meetings between the two teams in North London (all competitions) have seen on average 2.00 goals scored (less than 2.50 goals scored in 4 of 5 games).
