Carling Cup Final
Spurs to Pay The Penalty
Chelsea v Tottenham ~ Live on SSports 1, k/o 4:00pm
Sunday sees the first big final in the domestic football calendar, it’s the Carling Cup Final between Chelsea and Tottenham at Wembley. Given that Spurs have only beaten Chelsea twice in the last 18 years, it’s not surprising that the north London club go into their first cup final appearance since 2002 as underdogs.
However, over the last few weeks Tottenham have improved markedly. January signings Jonathan Woodgate and Alan Hutton have helped make the defence less porous, while academy product Jamie O’Hara has stepped up from the reserves and impressed with a string of good performances in midfield.
Ramos has masterminded impressive results against two of the big four recently – his side gave Arsenal a 5-1 mauling in the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final, while they were unlucky not to take three points from their league game with Man Utd at the beginning of the month.
But Chelsea rarely lose, in fact they’re unbeaten in 15 matches in all competitions. In their league meeting in January, Avram Grant’s side beat Spurs 2-0, and with Frank Lampard and John Terry now back to full fitness, it would take an outstanding performance to prevent the Blues from lifting the trophy for the second time in as many seasons.
This could go to the wire with 1:1 scoreline predicted at the end of 90 mins. Chelsea should win the day though on penalties and at 9/1 with William Hill look worth a small punt.
