Date and time: September 29, 7:45pm
Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur face a London derby against Chelsea in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. Jose Mourinho’s men are yet to play in the competition, having been given a bye in the last round because Leyton Orient had a number of positive Covid-19 tests.
Mourinho will be desperate for a first trophy at Spurs, and will target this competition against his former club. That is despite a mounting fixture list; they face Maccabi Haifa on Thursday in the Europa League playoff.
Both sides are likely to ring the changes for this one; Chelsea have extra squad depth, as they showed in the last round with a 6-0 win over Barnsley.
But Mourinho knows how to win these games, and after Chelsea’s draw at West Brom on Saturday, we think Spurs will progress here. Back a Spurs win at 13/5 with Bet365.
Why are we backing Tottenham here?
Chelsea have won just one of their last five away games, and while Spurs are yet to win at home, they have a lot of attacking options here.
Whether Harry Kane or Son Heung-Min start is doubtful given the fixture pile up.
But Lucas Moura opened up his account for the season with a goal at the weekend, and he could be a good bet here to score anytime at 11/5 with Bet365.
What other markets are worth a look?
Chelsea have won the last four meetings in all competitions, but three of the last five clashes have been decided by a goal. Backing the Blues by a goal could be worth a look at 11/4 with Bet365.
The big thing to take from this game is that neither side have kept a clean sheet yet this season. Bet on BTTS at 8/13 with Bet365.
Odds correct as of 27/9/2020
