Fifth-placed Spurs host second-placed Man City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in what promises to be an exciting game to cap off a weekend of English Premier League football. City boss Pep Guardiola’s side are hoping for more of the same as they go into this game full of confidence following their 1-0 FA Cup win over league leaders Arsenal.
Tottenham also fought their way through to the next round of the competition after a 3-0 professional win at Preston North End last weekend, but will be without boss Antonio Conte for the crucial game, with the Italian recovering after having undergone surgery to remove his gallbladder earlier this week.
The game looks set to deliver a tantalizing battle between two strikers at the top of their game, as Spurs skipper Harry Kane lines up against City’s Erling Haaland.
Haaland currently leads the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 25 goals so far this season, while Tottenham hitman Kane is second on 16 and is still looking to break Jimmy’s all-time Spurs record Greaves.
Below we will describe the best live tv streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Spurs vs Man City match online from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re unable to view the game locally, you may need another way to watch the game – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your game day speeds by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and connections.
With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet, or laptop to access the game. So if your ISP or mobile carrier has blocked you with an IP address that says incorrectly your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can fix this problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, unobstructed zone. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPNmake it really easy to do.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in all countries where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK, and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service that you broadcast. You need to make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even when VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it believes is circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN
- With four variables in play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for a city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure that the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file in your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or whatever mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with Smart TV services, after installing a cable network’s sports app, you will be asked to verify a numeric code or click on a link sent to your registered email address for your Smart TV . This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, as both devices will appear in the correct place.
- And remember, browsers can often give away location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-focused browser to connect to your services. We normally recommend Brave.
