Manchester City vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips: Back Spurs’ Set-Piece Threat In Our 5/1 Treble

Manchester City and Tottenham meet at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday lunchtime and our betting tips can be combined as a 5/1 bet builder.

Both sides opened the 2025-26 Premier League season in style. City swept Wolves aside 4-0 at Molineux, with Erling Haaland picking up where he left off and new signing Tijjani Reijnders producing a debut masterclass.

Spurs, meanwhile, delivered a statement win of their own, brushing aside Burnley 3-0 in Thomas Frank’s first league game in charge.

Both clubs arrive full of confidence, but history suggests City rarely find it straightforward against Spurs, who won 4-0 here last season in one of the shocks of the campaign.

Football betting sites make City strong favourites at 1/2, while Spurs are out at 11/2 to record back-to-back Etihad wins.

Man City vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips

• Erling Haaland To Score Anytime @ 4/7

• Micky van de Ven Over 0.5 Shots @ 13/8

• Both Teams To Score @ 4/7

Erling Haaland To Score Anytime @ 4/7

It’s a simple pick, but a sensible one. Haaland has now scored 48 goals in 48 Premier League home games, a record that makes him the most reliable scorer in world football right now.

He netted twice against Wolves on the opening weekend and looks sharp, fit, and ready to bully a Tottenham back line still adjusting under Frank.

At 4/7, it’s short but solid — a banker leg to kick off the treble.

Micky van de Ven Over 0.5 Shots @ 13/8

Here’s a sentence that would have made absolutely no sense this time last year: Tottenham are becoming a serious set-piece threat.

Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs were all about vibes and vertical football. Under Thomas Frank, though, there’s every reason to believe they’ll evolve into a set-piece machine.

Brentford ranked second in expected goals from dead-ball situations last season, and the early signs are that Frank is already translating that blueprint to Spurs.

Enter Micky van de Ven. Not just a Rolls Royce defender in open play, his power, pace, and timing make him an aerial asset waiting to be unlocked. In two starts under Frank (including the Super Cup against PSG), he’s already amassed three shots and a goal.

Priced at 13/8 to register at least one shot, the markets are still sleeping on his upside. This is excellent value to back.

Both Teams To Score @ 4/7

City may have kept Wolves quiet, but Tottenham arrive with momentum in attack and a point to prove after last season’s Etihad heroics.

Richarlison looked rejuvenated on the opening weekend, Mohammed Kudus has already struck up an instant chemistry with him, and Brennan Johnson offers a direct outlet to trouble City’s high line.

Meanwhile, it’s rare that City don’t score in a Premier League home game, so backing both sides to score at 4/7 feels like the natural way to round off this treble.

If you combine all three of our Man City vs Tottenham tips as a bet builder, you’ll land a 5/1 treble — where a £10 stake would return £60 if all selections come in.
