EFL Cup Final | 25th April 2021 | 16.30pm
It's the EFL Cup Final on Sunday and Manchester City take on Tottenham at Wembley for the first domestic trophy of the season. We will take a look at the best football tips and stats.
Manchester City and Tottenham will both be desperate to claim a trophy, for Manchester City it's probably become more important after their loss in the FA Cup and for Tottenham it will be their first in a long time.
Tottenham will be managed by Ryan Mason after Jose Mourinho left the club and the temporary manager let slip that their is hope Harry Kane may be fit for the clash, ‘We’re just treating it day-by-day, but the hope is that he might be on the [training] pitch at the end of the week.'
The head to head record for this fixture is surprisingly mixed with both teams winning two of the last five and one draw. Only one of those five have had both sides find the net.
Manchester City - Team Form
Manchester City have been in inconsistent form and have lost two of their last five games, including a 2-1 loss to Leeds and 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup.
4 of Man City's last 5 have featured over 2.5 goals.
In their last Premier League game Manchester City beat Aston Villa 1-2 in a game that involved two red cards and plenty of drama. Aston Villa took the lead in the first minute and then Foden equalised with Rodri giving Man City the lead 40 minutes into the game. John Stones was then sent off just before half time.
54 minutes in Matty Cash received a yellow and three minutes later received a second yellow and red card after being terrorized by Foden for much of the game.

Key Players
I think it will be Harry Kane and whether he is fit or not. He has been in fine form for Tottenham and has scored seven goals in his last six games, although Gareth Bale did score in his absence.
