Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 171
Man City wins: 68
Draws: 37
Spurs wins: 66

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have faced each other a total of 171 times across all competitions, with the Citizens edging the head-to-head record with 68 victories to Spurs' 66, while there have also been 37 draws between the two teams.

However, Tottenham have fared slightly better in cup competitions, winning 10 times and drawing three of their 21 encounters across the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League, while in the Premier League era (since 1992-93), they have beaten Man City on 28 occasions across 53 meetings, and have also played out eight draws.

One of the most memorable fixtures between these two clubs was the Champions League quarter-final clash in 2019 when Spurs edged past Man City via the away goals rule following a 4-4 aggregate draw. The Citizens suffered VAR heartache in the second leg despite winning a thrilling contest 4-3 at the Etihad. Man City got their revenge in the EFL Cup final two years later, though, with Aymeric Laporte scoring eight minutes from time to seal a 1-0 triumph at Wembley.

Since 2004, 40 of the last 45 encounters between these two teams have taken place in the Premier League, and Spurs enjoyed an impressive spell of dominance at the beginning of this run as they won 11 games out of 12 between December 2004 and May 2010, including seven wins by a 2-1 scoreline.

However, Man City responded in emphatic fashion by winning eight of the next 10 between August 2010 and May 2015 - scoring 27 goals in the process - including two 5-1 away victories and a 6-0 thumping on home soil.

Since September 2015, there has been little to separate these two clubs, but Man City have just edged it with 10 wins compared to Spurs' eight in 22 meetings across all competitions, with the Citizens' winning five times in the last nine encounters.

Man City did not enjoy any of their first five visits to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, losing all five without scoring, but they have since won their last two - a 1-0 FA Cup fourth-round win in January 2024 followed four months later by a 2-0 Premier League win, courtesy of two goals from Erling Haaland and a heroic goalkeeping display from substitute Stefan Ortega.

At the Etihad, Tottenham have only won one of their last nine visits - a enthralling 3-2 victory in February 2022 in which Harry Kane netted a dramatic 95th-minute winner.

Only Jermain Defoe (seven) has scored more goals for Tottenham against Man City than both Kane and Robbie Keane (five), but the highest-scoring player in this fixture is Citizens legend Sergio Aguero, who netted 12 times in 18 games, including all four in a 4-1 home victory in October 2014.
