Capital One Cup final: Spurs, Chelsea prepare for Wembley showdown

Tottenham (12/5 to lift the trophy with Coral) and Chelsea (1/3 odds-on favourites) face off for their first Capital One Cup final since 2008, when a Juande Ramos-led Spurs came out 2-1 winners after extra time.

These two teams have enjoyed head-fought and entertaining battles over the years too, so back another draw in 90 minutes at 16/5.

In five of their last seven mattings in all competitions, they have managed a match total of four goals or more, and you can take tempting odds of 2/1 for their to be more than 3.5 once more.

Both clubs, though, come in to this game in a shaky run of form, with Chelsea drawing their last two, against Burnley (Premier League) and PSG (Champions League), and Spurs without a win in their last four.

They have met this season twice already meanwhile, with Tottenham coming out on top 5-3 in a thriller at White Hart Lane, and the Blues easing to a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

The two danger men from either side in those fixtures were Harry Kane and Eden Hazard, who gained a pair of goals across both games.

You can back prolific Kane, who was controversially left out of the starting line-up in Spurs’ recent 2-0 loss against Fiorentina in the Europa League, at 15/8 to net in 90 minutes, or 10/1 for two or more again. The youngster has a terrific 24 goals in all competitions this season, and represents his side’s main threat at Wembley.

Chelsea’s Hazard, meanwhile, who has 13 strikes and as many assists to his name this term, is 7/4 in the anytime market. Diego Costa represents his team’s best chance in terms of goals, as he has 17 (all in the Premier League) this season, and he is odds-on at 10/11 for another in normal time.
