Newcastle United have a date with destiny this weekend in the EFL Cup Final but they could do with a morale-boosting win when they visit West Ham United in the Premier League tonight.
The Wembley build-up has been far from ideal for the Magpies, with key player Anthony Gordon picking up a costly red card last weekend as they crashed out of the FA Cup to Brighton.
Defenders Lewis Hall and Sven Botman will also miss out on Sunday after picking up serious injuries so Eddie Howe will be desperate to get through their trip to the London Stadium unscathed.
But it's a tough one for Newcastle with the Hammers beginning to pick up a bit of form under new boss Graham Potter.
West Ham United vs Newcastle top betting tips
Howe has vowed not to wrap his players in cotton wool for this one so he should field a strong side, even though fans are biting their nails over the prospect of star striker Alexander Isak aggravating an injury.
BoyleSport make the Magpies their 23/20 favourites but West Ham look a bit overpriced at 11/5 given they have home advantage and their opponents might have one eye on Wembley.
James Ward-Prowse has started the last two games for the Hammers and should keep his place after back-to-back victories. His set-piece prowess makes him a good long-odds option for an assist at 6/1 with Bet365 and I also like the evens on offer at Paddy Power for the midfielder to be fouled over 0.5 times.
Neither manager is known for their teams sticking the boot in so under 35.5 booking points could stand a chance at 11/10 with BoyleSports.
Livingston vs St Johnstone top betting tips
The last of the Scottish Cup quarter-finals takes place tonight and Championship side Livingston will fancy their chances against Premiership bottom dogs St Johnstone.
Saints have a poor record on Livi's plastic pitch and haven't won on their last five visits to West Lothian. Three of those matches ended in wins for the Lions so that's why BoyleSports make them slight 6/4 favourites, with St Johnstone at 13/8.
This should be a tight one so the half-time draw looks good at 20/21 with the same firm, while backing most goals to come after the break reverses those odds at 21/20.
Livingston always get stuck in under David Martindale so the card markets are worth a look too. Over 4.5 match cards appeals at 7/5 with Unibet while Livi's Jamie Brandon is 11/4 at Bet365 to pick up his 11th card this term.
Lazio v Udinese top betting tips
Lazio are in the thick of the fight for a Champions League place in Serie A and will be targeting three more precious points when Udinese come calling.
Marco Baroni's men are motoring along nicely in the Europa League and should book a place in the quarter-finals this week after winning 2-1 away to Viktoria Plzen in a stormy game last Thursday.
Udinese will be hoping there's a Euro hangover from Lazio and they head to Rome in good form, with four wins and a draw in their last five.
That stalemate came away to league leaders Napoli so they should be a tough nut to crack, with clean sheets in their last three.
So I fancy the half-time draw in this one at 23/20 with BoyleSports while the same firm price under 2.5 goals at 20/23.
Udinese also look decent value at 11/10 in the double chance given they're on such a good run of form.

Would have to go for West ham tonight Newcastle will have one eye on wèmbly
What about Newcastle’s league position?? a win would take them 6th which would be 1 place off the Champions League places, the League is more important than any cup final so there’s a bit of carrot their for Newcastle.
Westham win tonight at 21/10 👍

Isak SOT is evens wi Slybet. Probably my only bet tonight
Isak not playing
West Ham v Newcastle
Over 2.5 goals at 4/5 (NAP)
Over 3.5 goals at 2/1
Over 4.5 goals at 9/2
Should be a good game, Obviously Newcastle pose the bigger goal threat here. Eddie Howe has stated Isak is fit so I believe he will start although I think Howe is risking him again as he sat out the Liverpool game and he didn’t sit that one for nothing. European Qualification is a must for Newcastle so a win here is vital. Newcastle play Liverpool in 6 days time so no problems for recovery for Newcastle, they won’t want to be heading in to that game on the back of a loss. They should win but I’m sticking with goals. I’ll also be on Dan Burn to score or assist at 10/1.
Best of luck
Looking forward for lots of goals..
