04/01 - Spurs v Burnley Odds
The Spurs v Burnley odds for this Spurs Burnley betting Carling Cup first leg semi final match at White Hart Lane sees the Premier League Club distinct favourites to take a first leg lead to Burnley. Spurs, who have been on a lean run of late came back to winning ways last weekend with a 3-1 win over Wigan in the FA Cup third round.

04/01 - Man Utd v Southampton Odds
The Man Utd v Southampton odds for this Manchester Utd Southampton FA Cup clash sees a struggling Championship team take on the might of the Premier League. It comes as no surprise to hear that Man Utd are put in as the 1/4 on favourites to win this match which is live on Setanta Sports. This match is in fact a repeat of the 1976 FA Cup final which was won by the Saints and the price of a repeat is 11/1 with online bookmaker Ladbrokes. In 1976 Southampton had one of their most famous players ever in the side, Mick Channon but today even with 11 more Mick Channons on the field Southampton would still struggle such has the game move on over the last 30 years. The Saints today have a gaggle of young players who have impressed their supporters with the type of football they play but they have no penetration in the final third of the field and they will come up well short on Sunday afternoon, hey but this is the FA Cup 3rd round where anything can happen!
03/01 - Aston Villa v Gillingham Odds
The Aston Villa v Gillingham odds for this Aston Villa Gillingham FA Cup betting match are interesting more for the fact that this is a match that is live on ITV1 than for the match itself. How long has it been that ITV have televised a live domestic football match? many years, those old enough will remember how ITV were at one time much more involved in bringing us live coverage in fact it was at a time when bookmakers would not take a bet on an individual league match. How times have changed for the better, thank you Sky Sports and the Exchequer and zero tax on betting. So back to this game and well it comes as no surprise that this second division team are 8/1 with Ladbrokes to cause a surprise but this is hardly likely with Aston Villa the 1/3 favourites and the draw is not really an option at 7/2.
