West Ham v Spurs (Sunday: 16.00 Sky Sports 1)

No win in 10 Premiership matches and now up against your arch nemesis at home. If defeat against Charlton was the dagger to the heart, Sporting Index reckon Spurs will twist it good and proper with victory at Upton Park. They’re predicted to win this by a margin of 0.3-0.5 goals. But wait, this is a derby and West Ham have taken three points off Spurs in six of the last eight home matches. Could they breathe life into their relegation battle? Battling for everything will be the order of the day from the home fans given their pitiful surrender at the Valley, so bookings could be an interesting market. There were seven yellow cards when the Hammers lost 1-0 at the Lane in October and punters could expect another heated encounter. With only one goal in their last four Premiership matches, can Curbishley’s strikers find their shooting boots? Harewood and Cole have four league goals between them all season, but what a stage to open your goalscoring account for Tevez. Sporting Index price his goal minutes spread at 9-12 minutes. Berbatov was brilliant at home against Bolton and has scored on his last two away games. Keep an eye on him with his goal minutes spread priced at 15-18 minutes with Sporting Index.
