Manchester city
Both teams performed unsuccessfully in the League Cup, so this tournament is the last chance to win the Cup on the domestic stage. Manchester City are the current trophy holders, while Tottenham last won the FA Cup more than 30 years ago. Last season, Spurs reached the 1/8 finals.
At the same time, we should not forget about the championship. Manchester City is currently second in the Premier League, five points behind Liverpool, but with a game in hand. Tottenham are outside the Champions League zone, but Arsenal and Aston Villa, ahead of Spurs, are only three points clear.
Manchester City have better squad depth. Tottenham have their home field and, perhaps, their attitude on their side. Plus, it should not be ruled out that Guardiola will again decide to experiment with the squad, which could play into the hands of Spurs. But in any case, Tottenham will give Manchester City a fight. For example, the probability that “both teams will score” bookmakers estimate as 1×1.45. Chance for “the total in the match is more than 3.5” – 1×2.06. Well, the probability “Manchester City win” with a handicap of -1” – 1×2.17.
