Emmanuel Adebayor to inspire Spurs against his former club Arsenal

Tottenham have won 13 of their last 16 away matches and they should be backed at 11/4 to cause an upset against Arsenal.

Whilst some grounds may be showing a few empty seats in this third round of the FA Cup, there shouldn’t be a spare space in the Emirates for this fierce North London derby.

Both sides are in great form at present, but it is Spurs who appear to have the better striking options, especially with both sides suffering from long injury lists.

Emmanuel Adebayor was stretchered off with cramp against Man Utd but the talented striker is expected to be fit to face his former team.

The Togolese forward scored 62 goals for the Gunners but isn’t a fans favourite at the Emirates, having run the length of the pitch to celebrate a goal for Man City in-front of the opposing Arsenal fans.

He was sent off against his former club last season but is in rude health at present, having scored four goals in five games since being restored to the first team.

Adebayor is 8/1 to score first, as he did at the Emirates last season.

He has notched twice in his last three games against Arsenal and is 11/4 to score at anytime once again.

Bringing Adebayor back was one of new manager Tim Sherwood’s first moves and it has paid off handsomely, as has the decision to play Etienne Capoue in midfield.

The Frenchman looked poor when playing at centre-back, but was much more assured in midfield at Old Trafford.

Sherwood’s side have won three of their last four Premier League matches, scoring nine goals in the process; only six less than Andre Villas-Boas’ team had managed in their previous 16.
