Premier League: First big game of the season, who will win?

KATHMANDU: AUGUST 15 – Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are playing in the English Premier League on Sunday night. The game will start at 9:15 pm Nepali time. Tottenham’s new coach Nuno Espirito also wants to give the impression of being in the team by defeating the previous winning team while the previous winner City is waiting for a strong performance against the strong team.

Amid rumours that Tottenham captain and striker Harry Kane wants to leave the club and that City are trying to sign him, the game is sure to catch the eye of both Nuno and Pep Guardiola.

Nuno, 47, said: “I don’t think I have to convince players because everyone is a Tottenham player. They are proud of the club and do their best to win. ‘

However, it is unclear whether Kane, who is in a dilemma in today’s match against City, will be on the field. Agencies have claimed that he is not ready to go to the field mentally and physically. As he was seen in practice only on Friday, the confusion about whether or not he will be in today’s squad has increased. However, new signing Cristian Romero and Brian Gill are likely to be in the squad. However, Phil Foden of City will not be in the team. He will be sidelined for four weeks with a leg injury. Similarly, Kevin De Bruyne will not be in the team due to a knee injury.

He was ruled out of the Euro quarter-final against Italy with an injury.

In the last 21 encounters between the two, City has won 13 games. Tottenham have won just five of their 17 Premier League games without Kenya, including one against Manchester City in February 2020. Korean star Son Heung-min has scored six goals against City. Which is possible in three games at Tottenham.

City coach Pep Guardiola has lost to Tottenham four times in the away game.

The city will be trying to set a new record in the top five leagues in Europe. They wants to break Aston Villa’s record of 1891-92 and 1900-01 with 11 consecutive wins in the opening game. Which is similar to Liverpool and Chelsea.
