Capital One Cup: Terrific time for Tottenham to face Arsenal

Spurs have won three out of the last four North London derbies against Arsenal at home 2-1, and a repeat result as both teams enter the Capital One Cup in the third round is a 9/1 shot with Coral.

Despite some suspensions and more injuries, the Gunners are made narrow 7/5 favourites to win the tie in 90 minutes, and belie their recent record at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham are slowly starting to click, however, after investing in a new-look attack over the summer, and represent real value at 19/10 for victory in normal time, and 11/10 to qualify from the tie.

A draw, which means an additional half hour and possibly penalties on the night, meanwhile, is a 13/5 chance. Derby day could well contain a red card, so special odds of 7/2 say someone shall be sent off in the match.

Harry Kane, a boyhood Arsenal fan, has no hiding place from his club goal-drought, but at least some relief on the scoring burden has arrived in the form of South Korea attacker Son Heung-Min.

Since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen, Son has three in as many matches across all competitions, so is well worth backing in a superb 6/1 special enhanced matchday wincast. You can stake up to £20 on this brilliant boosted price bet.

Whether Mauricio Pochettino is willing to risk recently returned Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen playing again so soon remains to be seen, but this could be a necessity if both Mousa Dembele and Ryan Mason fail fitness with Nabil Bentaleb definitely out.
