Wednesday evening’s Capital One Cup action comes from White Hart Lane where Tottenham Hotspur face Sheffield United.

The hosts have lost just one of their last ten games in all competitions, and their fans will see this tie against a side two divisions below them as a great chance to get to what would be their seventh League Cup final, and only fellow Liverpool and Aston Villa have lifted the trophy on more occasions.

Emmanuel Adebayor is in line to start for the first time since November 2nd, while Ryan Mason is also fit again but Nabil Bentaleb is away at the Africa Cup of Nations and Nacer Chadli misses out due to a family bereavement.

Top scorer Harry Kane is favourite to open the scoring at 4.5 (7/2) with Bet Victor, ahead of 5.5 (9/2) chance Adebayor and 7.0 (6/1) Christian Eriksen.

The home win is widely available at 1.36 (4/11), with the visitors as highly priced as the 10.0 (9/1) on offer from Bet 365, who have the draw at 5.75 (19/4).

Nigel Clough’s men currently sit in seventh place in League One, and whilst promotion will be their priority, they will be relishing the prospect of a second trip to Wembley in twelve months having reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup last season.

Chris Basham is in contention after serving his ban, but Ryan Flynn, Iain Turner, James Wallace and Ben Davies are all injury doubts.

Jamie Murphy is 17.0 (16/1) to get the first goal of the game with Bet 365, while Jamal Campbell-Ryce is a 26.0 (25/1) shot with a number of firms.

These two sides last met when the Blades were in the Premier League, and it was they who ran out winners at Bramall Lane, while the reverse fixture ended in victory for the North Londoners.

Despite their inferior position in the football pyramid, United have proved to be more than a match for a number of higher-division opponents in the past eighteen months, so you may be tempted to back them open the scoring here at a price of 4.5 (7/2) with Bet 365.
