I also agree with you about Man City's revival after this international break because some of their players have returned to strengthen Man City and Pep Guardiola must have also corrected his previous mistakes so I think Man City will not continue their bad trend, against Tottenham is indeed a challenge for Man City because this club cannot be underestimated but because this match will be held at home it will be an advantage for Man City to get 3 full points.

This game I see as a draw game. Am not speculating using the fact that Manchester City has to draw their last four matches. With the current form of Manchester City what they can do in this game is to draw the game. I would've said they may lose against Tottenham but then I remembered them having a home advantage. And Pep wouldn't want to lose this game if not they will be so down at the Premier League table. However, this does not determine who is going to win the EPL title. I have seen Manchester City come back up when they are low on points. Most importantly they become stronger after January. We saw that earlier this year when they returned, the team was on fire and won 99% of the games played. Also, knowing that Tottenham lost to Ipswich Town in last week's game. We can assume that Manchester City will win the game and gain victory over Tottenham at Etihad. Source : Google
