Manchester City Vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Edin Dzeko Chance Saved By Carlo Cudicini

Manchester City have had the better of the opening exchanges and ought to be ahead after brilliant work by David Silva. The Spanish midfielder received a neat flick from Edin Dzeko, got to the byline, and cut the ball back to the Bosnian, whose shot was right at Carlo Cudicini. It was a good stop by Tottenham Hotspur's backup goalkeeper, but Dzeko was in acres of space and had plenty of time to pick out a shot instead of hammering it in the vague direction of goal.

Ultimately, that miss probably won't matter - City are all over their guests right now and I can't see anything but a win for the hosts in light of how they've started this game. Spurs are being forced to defend too much: Peter Crouch might have spent more time in his half than in City's, and when they try to attack the hosts simply launch a counter. It's not looking good for Harry Redknapp's side right now.
