City to have too much firepower for Tottenham

The BT Sport cameras will be at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night (19:45) to witness the battle between Tottenham and Man City. When these sides met in the previous encounter City ran out 6-0 victors in a game that was the beginning of the end for former manager Andre Villas-Boas. Tim Sherwood is now the man in charge at Spurs and he has overseen a six game unbeaten run in the Premier League and they are 11/4 (bet365/boylesports/CORAL) to get revenge on City here.

The team from Manchester though are also in form with a remarkable 17 victories and two draws from their last 19 games in all competitions. I still think that Tottenham have a few problems at the back that have not been addressed and the Citizens attack will once again prove too hot to handle so take the 21/20 (GENERAL) on a City victory.

Also in action on Wednesday night are Chelsea who will hope Tottenham can do them a favour while they will not be too worried by the visit of West Ham.

The Blues are as short as 1/5 (GENERAL) to record a 13th victory in their last 16 Premier League meetings with their London rivals. Chelsea are in excellent form with seven straight victories and I can see not much hope for West Ham even at 18/1 (bet365). The Hammers have won just two of their last 15 in the league and it is hard to see the shock here. Those looking for a bet might want to consider the 5/4 (ladbrokes/CORAL) that both teams score as this has been the result in seven of the last eight Chelsea home games in the Premier League and West Ham have found the net in five of their last six league away games.

Another game that is taking place on Wednesday evening is the Midlands derby from Villa Park where Aston Villa play host to West Brom. Bookmakers make Villa the 8/5 (GENERAL) favourites for the game as they look to build on an impressive 2-2 at Liverpool last time out in the Premier League. Villa have only lost six of 29 second city derbies in the Premier League. The Baggies are are draw specialists drawing ten of 25 games they have played in all competitions this season. This game to end all square is 23/10 (GENERAL) while the Baggies are 2/1 (GENERAL) to take all three points.

The way to play this game is in the total booking points market as 15 players have been given six or more yellow cards this season and six of them play for these sides (three each).

Sunderland and Stoke do battle at the Stadium of Light in a game that will have a big impact at the bottom end of the table. The Black Cats are the 23/20 (paddy Power/ladbrokes) favourites as they look to build upon a run of just one defeat from their last seven league games. Confidence will be high as they welcome the visit of a Stoke side with the worst away record in the Premier League this season (just five points from 11 games).

If you think the Potters can take a valuable three points then you can back them to do so at 29/10 (bet365/BETVICTOR) while the draw is a 12/5 (GENERAL) chance.

Sung-Yong Ki has netted three times in his last ten games and odds of 16/1 (SPREADEX) that he scores first and 6/1 (BETVICTOR) he nets anytime look worth a little interest.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Man City to beat Tottenham, 21/20 (GENERAL)
SILVER: Ki to score v Stoke, first 16/1 (SPREADEX), anytime 6/1 (BETVICTOR)
BRONZE: YES both teams to score Chelsea v West Ham, 5/4 (ladbrokes/CORAL)
