Manchester City will host Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, 23rd August, in the second week of the 2025\/26 Premier League<\/a> season. Check out our match preview and best bets, which include a 6\/1 poke on a certain Erling Haaland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tijjani Reijnders to Score or Assist (6\/4 with Sky Bet<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tijjani Reijnders both scored and assisted in Manchester City\u2019s 4-0 win over Wolves on his Premier League debut \u2013 no player has ever achieved this in their first two City appearances in the competition, while Reijnders or teammate Rayan Cherki could be the first player since Emmanuel Adebayor in August 2009 to score in their first two Premier League games for the club. Across all competions last season, Reijnders scored an impressive 15 goals and five assists, figures that could well rise should he continue to play like he did last weekend for City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erling Haaland to score a header (6\/1 with Sky Bet<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Erling Haaland has now bagged 87 goals for Manchester City, with 15 of them coming from headers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For defenders, it\u2019s no longer just about worrying over his pace in behind or his knack for pouncing on loose balls. The real danger now is Haaland as an aerial weapon\u2014and City finally look structured to exploit that fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers highlight the shift: in the past six seasons, City averaged 7.32 open-play crosses in the first half of matches. Last season, that dipped slightly to 6.26. But against Wolves, the approach changed dramatically\u2014they delivered 12 first-half crosses, nine of them inside the opening 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That kind of service inevitably points toward Haaland being on the end of more headed chances. At odds of 6\/1 with Sky Bet for him to score via a header, the value looks hard to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n
