Capital One Cup Tips: Man City to avenge FA Cup loss

Aston Villa v Tottenham , Tuesday 19:45, Match Odds: Aston Villa 3.6553/20, Tottenham 2.166/5, The Draw 3.6553/20

Paulinho's late goal at the Cardiff City Stadium extended Tottenham's excellent start to the season to seven wins in eight games with just one goal conceded. Spurs won 4-0 at Villa in the league last season, and have not lost there in their past five visits, winning three. Paul Lambert's side picked up a 1-0 win at Norwich at the weekend, but with Christian Benteke trudging off injured and doubtful for Tuesday's match, they will struggle to penetrate Spurs' defence even if Andre Villas-Boas shuffles his pack as expected, so the visitors are well set to pick up another win.

Recommended Bet: Back Tottenham to win @ 2.166/5

Manchester City v Wigan, Tuesday 19:45, Match Odds: Manchester City 1.282/7, Wigan 13.525/2, The Draw 6.611/2

Wigan's 1-0 win in last season's FA Cup final proved to be the final nail in Roberto Mancini's managerial coffin, and Manchester City will be keen to take revenge on a Latics side now in the Championship. Before the 1-0 loss, City had beaten Wigan without conceding in seven consecutive matches, and whatever team Manuel Pellegrini opts to field on Tuesday night should have little trouble in progressing to the next round of the competition. Wayne Rooney's late consolation goal in the Manchester derby was the first City have conceded at home this campaign, while Wigan have not netted on the road since the opening day of the season, firing four straight blanks.

Best Bet: Back Manchester City to win to nil @ 2.3811/8

Fulham v Everton, Tuesday 20:00, Match Odds: Fulham 3.211/5, Everton 2.47/5, The Draw 3.55/2

After their 2-0 loss at Chelsea, Fulham go into a run of three home games where Martin Jol needs to produce some wins to keep the wolves from the door. First up Everton visit Craven Cottage in the Capital One Cup on the back of a 3-2 win over West Ham in the capital. Roberto Martinez's side have conceded four and scored five in their three away matches this season, and with Fulham's two home matches seeing six goals so far, there should be no shortage of entertainment on show. Seven of the last nine meetings of the sides have seen over 2.5 goals, and it is worth backing that trend to continue on Tuesday.

Recommended Bet: Back Over 2.5 goals @ 1.855/6
