Premier League football betting – Tottenham vs Bolton
Tottenham look to keep the pressure on their rivals in the race for fourth place as they face Bolton at White Hart Lane in the Premier League. Spurs currently hold the coveted position but they are level on points with Aston Villa and only one clear of Manchester City. Bolton, however, have little left to play for this season after avoiding relegation and Wanderers can finish no higher than their current fourteenth place.
FA Cup betting – Tottenham vs Bolton
Tottenham will try to get past Bolton at the second attempt today, as they play their replay after drawing the first match 1-1. Kevin Davies had put Bolton ahead after the 34th minute but Jermain Defoe equalised in the 62nd minute, and Spurs could not find a way through Bolton's resilient defence as they pressed for a winner. Harry Redknapp's side will fancy their chances in the Cup, and with Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal all out, they could go all the way to Wembley.
English FA Cup football – Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham travel to Elland Road tonight, to take on Leeds in their FA Cup replay. In the first leg, Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford scored a penalty deep in stoppage time to take the tie to a second leg. Spurs had twice been ahead through Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko, but Beckford's two equalisers meant that Leeds will have another chance to progress.

Barclays Premier League – Tottenham vs Manchester City
White Hart Lane is the setting for a crucial match tonight as two of the main top-four pretenders meet in the Premier League. Neither can afford to lose as their other main rivals Aston Villa showing they mean business with their wins at Manchester United last weekend and Sunderland last night. The general feeling is that Liverpool's poor performances this season make it the perfect time to try and squeeze into next season's Champion's League, but there is probably only one spot available with four teams in the hunt for a very lucrative and glamorous prize.
English Premiership betting – Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Aston Villa host Tottenham Hotspur this evening in a crucial clash for two of the clubs challenging for a top four spot this season. Villa managed to salvage a draw away at Burnley last weekend, whilst Spurs annihilated Wigan 9-1.

English Premier League betting – Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland
Tottenham Hotspur host Sunderland today, looking for a convincing victory to erase bitter memories of last week’s 3-0 loss to rivals Arsenal. Spurs had a fantastic start to the season, but have slumped recently, losing their last two league matches. Spurs are 4/7 favourites for the game (bet £70 to make £40 profit), and Sunderland are at 6/1. The draw is at 11/4.
English Premiership – Arsenal vs Tottenham
Arsenal and Spurs fans will be gearing up towards what looks to be the most competitive North London derby in recent years. Both matches last season ended in draws, with Aaron Lennon scoring a dramatic late equaliser to draw 4-4 and the other ending 0-0. Spurs have not beaten Arsenal in the league since 1999 but only goal difference separates the two teams at the moment.
English Premiership betting preview – Tottenham vs Stoke
Premier League high flyers Tottenham host Stoke City at White Hart Lane today, hoping to continue their excellent league form. The North London side currently lie in third place, behind Manchester United and Chelsea, and a win would see them draw level with United who play tomorrow.
