| Player | Team | To Score or Assist Odds |
| Erling Haaland | Manchester City | -345 |
| Omar Marmoush | Manchester City | +128 |

| Rayan Cherki | Manchester City | +145 |
| Tijjani Reijnders | Manchester City | +150 |
Erling Haaland’s -345 odds reflect his near-certain involvement in City’s attack. Omar Marmoush and Phil Foden provide strong value at +128 and +140, respectively, while Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders are also likely contributors.
Here are the odds for players to have at least 0.5 shots on target, with players from both teams listed alternately (via BetMGM):
| Player | Team | Over 0.5 Shots on Target Odds |
| Pedro Porro | Tottenham | +410 |
| Abdulkodir Khusanov | Manchester City | +575 |
| Pape Sarr | Tottenham | +420 |
| John Stones | Manchester City | +600 |
| Lucas Bergvall | Tottenham | +450 |
Tottenham’s Pedro Porro and Pape Sarr are likely to test the goalkeeper with their attacking contributions, while Manchester City’s Abdulkodir Khusanov and John Stones could make an impact from set pieces.
Manchester City’s attacking firepower, led by Haaland, Foden, and Marmoush, gives them a clear edge in the betting markets. However, Tottenham’s home advantage and dynamic attackers like Richarlison, Solanke, and Kudus could make this a tighter contest than the odds suggest.
