CHELSEA battled into the Capital One Cup Final on Tuesday night and I expect them to be facing Spurs at Wembley.

Spurs go into their second leg with League One Sheffield United 1-0 up and should rubber stamp their superiority.

It won't be easy though as the Blades are cup experts under Nigel Clough and for long spells were the beater side at White Hart Lane.

Mauricio Pochettini's men found the Blades tough to break through but Andre Townsend's penalty has changed the dynamics of the tie.

United will need to chase the game and that should suit a Spurs side who love to counter attack.

I'm on the Premier League men, a best 17-20 at McBookie and BetVictor to win, to add to their lead and I'm putting a small stake on 2-1 at 8-1 with McBookie.

United are 4-1 with Betfred and 13-2 at Ladbrokes to qualify.

Top scorer Harry Kane will start for Spurs after being rested for the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Leicester and is 4-1 with bet365 to score first and 5-4 to net at any time.

Another player to consider is midfield hotshot Christian Eriksen who is 15-2 at bet365.

For the Blades it's all about three players who plied their trade in Scotland. Ex-Livingston striker Marc McNulty is 9-1 to net first and former Motherwell players Michael Higdon and Jamie Murphy are 10-1 at McBookie.

United need to net and they usually do so I'm going with both to score at 10-11 with Betfred and Paddy Power.

Six of Spurs' seven away wins this season have been by 2-1 – so it would be foolish of me not to consider that at 8-1 with McBookie and BetVictor.

    Will be making my way to the game later on, hoping my team (Spurs) do the business
    Can’t take nothing for granted, watched the first leg last week and Utd offered very little.
    Thinking we must be able to score at some stage.

    Sheff Utd have to attack as they are 1-0 down from the first leg but Counter-attacking Spurs should win.

    My insight? United!

    Tottenham were handed that goal, literally. A goal is a goal and a lead is a lead but Tottenham didn’t earn it by being the better team.

    United aren’t feeling any pressure. At home playing a another semi final cup match under Clough, massive fan support, no matter what the outcome they can hold their heads up. They’ll be giving it everything.
