We simulated Manchester City v Tottenham on FIFA to get a score prediction in surprising result

Following back-to-back home defeats against Southampton and Wolves, Tottenham travel to the Etihad to take on Manchester City this weekend.

Antonio Conte is expected to be able to recall Eric Dier to the matchday squad after the 28-year-old was spotted training with the first team after recovering from a thigh injury. January signing Rodrigo Bentancur is likely to start alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg once again in the Spurs midfield, whilst Dejan Kulusevski could again start from the bench with Lucas Moura preferred in attack to support Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane.

Conte will be without Japhet Tanganga for the trip to the Etihad with the defender still out with a knee injury, whilst Oliver Skipp was also absent from training due to an ongoing groin problem.

So, what line-ups will both teams select? And, what could the final score be?

We used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Man City vs Spurs on Saturday and this is what happened...

We used kick-off mode in FIFA 22, but didn't select a team to control, we then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a score prediction.

We predict that Spurs could set up in a 5-2-3 formation, with their line-up as follows:

We predict that Man City could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows:

Spurs started slowly at the Etihad, struggling to get hold of possession and relying on counter-attacks to create chances with the pace of Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son to get in behind the City defence.

Conte's side struggled to contain City's attack throughout the first half as Phil Foden opened the scoring for the home side on the stroke of half-time with an excellent bicycle kick, despite being under pressure from Cristian Romero and
