SlipsTips casts his eye over the Bet Builder market ahead of Newcastle's Premier League match with Tottenham on Sunday.
Newcastle vs Tottenham (Sunday, 14:05)
Tottenham will be presented with the opportunity to move back into the top-four of the Premier League table when they take on Newcastle at St James' Park on Sunday.
I've already penned a separate match preview for this Sunday afternoon showdown which can be found here.
The Bet Builder that I recommended in the aforementioned preview is Tottenham to win and Newcastle to receive at least one card, a 5/6 shot with Bet 365.
That combination now makes even more appeal following Chelsea's shock 5-2 defeat at home to West Brom on Saturday.
If any extra motivation were needed Tottenham now know that a St James' Park triumph would send them into the top-four and I fancy Jose Mourinho's men to seize that opportunity on Sunday.
The Portuguese has an array of attacking talent at his disposal and he may have to belatedly release the shackles here when faced with a Newcastle team who are expected to sit in with a view to picking Spurs off on the break.
However, relegation-threatened Newcastle have won just two of their last 20 Premier League matches and I suspect Spurs will have too much class for the confidence-stricken hosts on Sunday.
In order to boost up the price, I'll back the Toon to pick up at least one card during this tussle – Newcastle are averaging 1.83 bookings per game this season and it's worth noting that Bruce's boys have seen at least one booking in nine of their last 11 Premier League outings.
