It's that time of the week where Paul Robinson selects a home win, an away win, a match to go over 2.5 goals and a match to go under 2.5 goals. Here are his selections...

- Back Tottenham @ 2.75 (7/4)
- Back Sporting Lisbon @ 1.44 (4/9)
- Back Over 2.5 Goals in Real Madrid v Sevilla @ 1.5 (1/2)
- Back Under 2.5 Goals in Real Sociedad v Villarreal @ 1.62 (8/13)

The Multiple pays approximately 9.62 (17/2)

Bet 1: Tottenham (HOME) @ 2.75 (7/4)

Chelsea are closing in on Arsenal's record run of wins but I have a feeling that it will be the Gunner's arch-rivals who will put an end to their quest.

Spurs have impressed of late with a couple of 4-1 away victories and while they weren't playing opposition who are in great form, they still had to win and they did it well.

The North Londoners have now won four on the bounce and have the added incentive of being able to move into the top four with a victory this evening - they'd actually move up to third.

The Blues looked a bit shaky for the first time in a while against Stoke at the weekend and their defence conceded twice. As Liverpool dropped points at Sunderland, the pressure is off slightly but I just can't see them getting anything from this game.

In the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge, Tottenham dominated Chelsea for the first half and they really should have won that game. I'm backing them to put things right at the Lane.

Bet 2: Sporting Lisbon (AWAY) @ 1.44 (4/9)

This is a Portuguese League Cup fixture and Sporting Lisbon should have more than enough to beat Vitoria Setubal and secure their place as winners of Group A.

The visitors are two from two in the group thus far and despite having dropped to fourth in the Primeira Liga, they are a class above their opponents today.

Jorge Jesus' side have played them five times over the course of the last 20 months and they've beaten them every single time - to an aggregate score of 16-1. The most recent fixture came on this ground and Sporting won 1-0.

Bet 3: Real Madrid v Sevilla (Over 2.5 goals) @ 1.5 (1/2)

Into the last 16 of the Copa del Rey now and I can't see anything but goals at the Bernabeu when Real Madrid host Sevilla.

It may still only be the mid-point of the campaign but Real Madrid will have their eyes on the treble - La Liga, Champions League and this competition. That should mean that they will take tonight's fixture seriously and given the opponent, they have to.

The hosts have seen their last seven at home end with the ball in the net on at least three occasions and they weren't just scraping over either. Then we have Sevilla's stats as four of their last five on the road have also gone over 2.5.

I appreciate that this is the first leg of two, but I would imagine that Zinedine Zidane will want to put the tie to bed early on, while the visitors will be keen to grab an away goal.

Bet 4: Real Sociedad v Villarreal (Under 2.5 goals) @ 1.62 (8/13)

Our final leg is also a Copa del Rey first leg fixture, but this time I doubt that we'll get many goals when Villarreal travel to Real Sociedad.

This should be a closely fought affair between two teams who are fifth and fourth in La Liga respectively. They are both in good form and Villarreal have a fantastic defensive record.

The Yellow Submarine have conceded just 11 goals in 16 league games this term, which is better than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They have only conceded more than once on the road on two occasions this year and one of those was in the Europa League.

Real Sociedad are a bit more open, but even so, half of their league matches have gone under 2.5 and as they know that they will face a tough task in scoring themselves in the away leg, keeping a clean sheet tonight is crucial.

The Multiple pays approximately 9.62 (17/2)
