VERDICT
Manchester will play without 2 pillars like Toure and Kompany, Tottenham without Adebayor. The style of play is the same for both team: an offensive game that create many occasions to score but also let many opportunities to the opponent.
Tottenham kept the clean sheets only 1 time on the last 5 games away, while Man City 3 times in a row.
I will pick Man city to win here
