Neither Crystal Palace nor Everton could book their place in the Fourth Round last night but this evening another five top flight clubs give it a go.
Pick of the ties, at least according to ITV, is their live match from North London where Ange Postegclou’s Tottenham Hotspur host Burnley.
The Aussie won three of four domestic cup competitions in Scotland as Celtic gaffer but he presided over an early EFL Cup exit for Spurs when his side were knocked out on penalties at Fulham in the Second Round.
He still has a lengthy absentee list to content with and isn’t helped by the loss of Son Heung-min, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr to the AFC Cup and African Cup of Nations.
Vincent Kompany’s main priority this season is survival in the Premier League but they’ve a good ten days until a crucial 6-pointer against Luton next Monday.
However Spurs should have enough about them to see their way through to the next round but without the creative spark from Son and long-term absentee Maddison it could take a while to break down the visitors and no goal before 24:00 appeals at 5/6.
Wolves were comprehensive 4-1 winners at Brentford just over a week ago and are 19/10 to repeat the feat tonight.
The Bees have now lost five in a row so it’s hard make a case for anything other than a win for the visitors.
In Scotland Queen’s Park can’t buy a win. The Spiders are three points adrift at the foot of the table and on a run of 16 without a win in the league, dating back to the middle of August.
But that elusive victory might not be far away. Under interim boss, Paul Nuijten, Queen’s have narrowly lost away to Morton, held Dundee United to a 0-0 draw, conceded in the 93rd minute to lose to Airdrie and pushed Partick Thistle in a 3-2 loss at Firhill.
Visitors Dunfermline are four without a win and suffered a third Fife Derby defeat of the season on Tuesday. The Pars won in Glasgow back in September but this might be as good a chance as it gets for Queen’s Park to get three points on the board at 13/8.

Racing Tips
Rizzel has picked out his four strongest selections for Friday, with two at Musselburgh and a further two at Ludlow.
As always, post your betting tips for today in the comments section below.
Going for Fulham to score over 2.5
Fulham correct score 3:0
Wolves look like great value. They are clearly the superior side, and coupled with the fact that they are midtable and should theoretically be more interested in a good cup run than Brentford who will be more concerned about avoiding relegation, this all stacks favour for an away win. I will definitely be backing them.
My NAP is Bologna to win at Evens
Lost only 2 of their last 20, won their last 7 at home, conceding only once in those 7. Up against Genoa who have picked up a few good results just before new year, but have a poor away record overall, and I just can’t see them getting anything from this game. Evens looks generous to me.

4pm
ive went for 3-0 3-1
also qatar to score in the first half 5/6
qatar won 4 out of 5 jordon drawn 1 out of 5 lost the rest
Brentford v Wolves
Under 4 goals
Brentford double chance
Over 5 corners
4/5
I expect this game to be similar to the Palace game last night, a tight and dull affair. Can’t take goals on as Wolves in form striker Hwang is away on International duty so should be a leveller.
Best of luck
Spurs v Burnley
Burnley over 1.5 Team goals at 2/1
Games for these sides start to thin out now as the hectic Christmas schedule is over, none of these sides are in Europe or the league cup so absolutely no excuse to rest players for tonight’s tie. I think the bookies haven’t factored in the fact Son is away on International duty along with Sarr and Bissouma. Burnley scored 2 away at Villa in their last game and will be confident on scoring again
Best of luck
1 -0 after 20 i think
Queens Park v Dunfermline
20 + booking points each team 2/1

Cliftonville have a good defence but they conceded at loughall and Dungannon last 2 away games, both are below Coleraine in the league.

Wolves to score both halves. 17-5.
