Tottenham Carling Cup Odds Ahead Of Final Against Manchester United
Thursday 22 January 2009 at 11:27
 Tottenham Hotspur used a fair amount of fortune on Wednesday night to make it to the Carling Cup for the second season running. With a couple of minutes to go in extra time of the second leg they were heading out against Championship side Burnley, despite having a 4-1 lead from the first leg.
Spurs Have To Put Poor Performance Behind Them
It was an atrocious performance from Spurs but with players returning from injury, on a better pitch at Wembley they are likely to be a different proposition. The bookies have Spurs at 7/4 to win the Carling Cup, that price is available with Bet365, Paddy Power and Stan James. Spurs defeated a full strength Chelsea side last year so you can't write them off. Manchester United can be backed at 4/9 with SkyBet, Ladbrokes and Coral to win the Carling Cup.
Cup Final Betting Specials
William Hill are offering 25/1 that Spurs win the Carling Cup but are relegated from the Premiership and 12/1 for worse case scenario, they lose the Cup final and are also relegated from the Premiership. Spurs currently lie sixteenth in the Premiership and only goal difference is keeping them off bottom spot.
Spurs Face United This Weekend In Cup
Funnily enough, Spurs also face Manchester United in the FA Cup Fourth Round this weekend. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is likely to send a very weak side up to Old Trafford due to a long injury list and prioritising the league. After Redknapp revealed that Spurs would be nowhere near full strength there was a big gamble on United for the game, they are now 4/11 with SkyBet whilst Spurs are 9/1 with Stan James to win the game. Spurs are 25/1 with SkyBet to win the FA Cup.
