S.P. Read Esq. Tottenham v Nottingham Forest (7.45pm)

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P.Read Esq. looks at the 7.45pm kick off in the Capital One Cup between TOTTENHAM v NOTTINGHAM FOREST and finds the best opportunity available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

John Isner beating Nicholas Mahut 70-68 in the final set at Wimbledon in 2010.

Liverpool beating Middlesbrough 14-13 on penalties.

Sometimes the most unlikely pairings produce the most incredulous results.

One thing is sure. Spurs won’t be wanting to be putting in too much overtime tonight at White Hart Lane with a trip to the Emirates on Saturday teatime for the North London derby beckoning.

As we saw last night with Liverpool, playing a weakened side against a Championship side can level the scales somewhat and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is likely to rest a number of his top players.

Forest have made a superb start to the new season, unbeaten in eight games and topping the Championship table with 18 points.

The two sides haven’t met since the FA Cup in 2005 which went to a replay.

Amongst the changes for Spurs Michel Vorm is expected to make his debut in goal with Ben Davies, Fazio, Kyle Naughton, Benjamin Stambouli, Aaron Lennon and Roberto Soldado may all likely players at some points this evening.

The sell of the Liverpool superiority went well last night with a profit of 14.25 points and I’m attempting to repeat the trick tonight with the same bet in this game.
