S.P.Read Esq: Spurs v Sheffield United

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Capital One Cup game on Wednesday (7.45pm, SKY) between SPURS v SHEFFIELD UNITED and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

The tiniest of profits last night !!!! (I sold the time of the second match goal at Anfield at 60 minutes and it arrived in the nick of time on 59 minutes !!

Another Capital One Cup semi-final tonight at White Hart Lane with Tottenham welcoming League One opposition Sheffield United in the first leg.

Hard to believe that as recently as 2007 this was a Premier League fixture and in 1993 Sheffield United beat Spurs 6-0 !!

United, now managed by Nigel Clough are currently fighting to get into the promotion places in League One but it would be dangerous to assume they will fear much from their Premier League rivals.

After all they have already beaten five Premier League clubs in the last 12 months: Villa and Fulham in last season’s run to the FA Cup semi-finals, and West Ham, Southampton and QPR this season.

Spurs are in the midst of a busy period and head coach Mauricio Pochettino is not under-estimating the opposition: “We know that Sheffield United ares a very good team. When we watched their game against Southampton and against QPR, they deserved to go through to the next round… they were the more aggressive and physical team. We need to be focused on our game and play with intensity, high level and high tempo”.

Sheffield United would no doubt be happy with a one goal deficit or anything better to take back to Bramall Lane.
