With both teams involved in the New York Challenge during pre-season, results were very different for these two clubs. Tottenham's only loss during pre-season was to an impressive Villarreal side, with half of the squad still to link up after International duty. City, by comparison, were beaten by the New York Red Bulls in their American tour.
Will things be different during the season?
My prediction for this game is Tottenham 2 - 1 Manchester City.
Bale to score.
