While Chelsea and Liverpool face a difficult battle for one place in the League Cup final, Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a much easier draw having been pitted against League One side Sheffield United.
The first leg at White Hart Lane is not going to be a walk in the park for Spurs even if their next opponents have only won one of last eight league matches, but the hosts have got to be considered hot favourites for the win.
With no Premier League fixtures scheduled for the weekend, Mauricio Pochettino is widely expected to field his strongest line-up, so bear in mind that Ladbrokes has enhanced the price on Harry Kane to score the first goal from 11/4 to 4/1. The 21-year-old has netted 7 times in last 10 appearances.
