Sky Bet: Bank on prolific strike duo Defoe and Sharp to hit the target

Hull City are 11-1 to repeat last season's victory at White Hart Lane, a price which reflects the direction the two clubs have taken over the past 12 months or so.

Hull have yet to win away this season while Tottenham have been largely rampant at home, although the absence of Aaron Lennon will ease the Tigers' concerns a little.

Jermain Defoe should play, though, and after scoring eight times in five home games, he is worthy of support at 10-11 to score at any time.

Sheffield Wednesday are without a win since October 17 – almost three months – and have a tough derby test ahead of them at Barnsley.

The Tykes are unbeaten in five at home, a run which has seen them beat Cardiff and Middlesbrough and hold Newcastle.

Wednesday are not in that class.

Sheffield United appear to be over their dip in form, having lost just one of their last 11 matches.

Gordon Strachan is still trying to reshape his Middlesbrough squad and could hand debuts to three new signings today so this may be a good time to take them on.

Back the Blades for the three points at 6-5.

Doncaster are the beneficiaries of Sean O'Driscoll missing out on the job at Burnley and they can celebrate with victory over Watford at the Keepmoat.

Billy Sharp has scored in his last five home games and can be backed at an attractive 13-8 to score again.

Having taken care of Manchester United, Leeds inexplicably slipped up against Wycombe in a match they might easily have lost. They make the long trip to Exeter, who have been beaten only twice on their own pitch this season.

Even allowing for Leeds's super away record, 4-6 is no price to be taking about the away win.

Huddersfield's opponents, Southend, have endured financial difficulties this season and find themselves in the bottom half of the table, but they are not a bad side and possess one of the most dangerous strikers in the division in Lee Barnard, who has 17 goals to his name.

Despite this, they have failed to score in five of their last six away games, so it has to be worth considering the 7-4 available for the Terriers to 'Win To Nil'.

Rotherham have not played for five weeks, so they may be a little rusty when and if they get back into action at Accrington.

There tends to be plenty of goals at the Crown Ground – the last two matches here have finished 4-2 – so bear this in mind.

'Over 2.5 Goals' is available at 19-20 and you can back both teams to score at 3-4, both tempting prices.

Finally Notts County's Premier League ambitions may be on hold – they have run out of money – but they still have some decent League Two players.

They have won their last three away games and can make it four in a row at Bradford, who are still struggling in front of those large Valley Parade crowds.
