Tuesday’s football tips: Bet against corners at 11/8 as Hearts host Hibs in a tense Edinburgh derby

The stakes are even higher than usual heading into tonight's Edinburgh derby as Heart of Midlothian bid to keep their noses in front of the Old Firm in the SPFL Premiership title race.

A defeat at St Mirren in their last game has cut the lead over Rangers to just three points and this is a massive week for the Jambos, with a trip to Ibrox looming on Sunday.

Hibernian would love to deliver another blow to their city rivals' title hopes but Derek McInnes will be hoping a pumped-up Tynecastle can roar his side on to victory.

Heart of Midlothian vs Hibernian top betting tips

It has been honours even in the derby so far this season, with Hearts winning 1-0 at Tynecastle in the first game before losing 3-2 at Easter Road.

Home advantage has been important so it could be worth backing the Jambos tonight, although the odds aren't great at a best 16/19 with Unibet.

Discipline has been a problem of late for Hearts, with red cards in three of their last six games. But refs often let things go in a derby and we've only seen four yellows across the two previous meetings so I'm steering clear of card bets.

The last derby at Tynecastle also produced just six corners while we only saw four in Hearts' 2-2 home draw with Celtic. That makes under 10 corners a decent option tonight and it pays 11/8 with Bet365.

West Ham United vs Manchester United

The pick of tonight's Premier League games sees Manchester United take on West Ham United looking to make it five wins in a row under Michael Carrick.

If the Red Devils get the job done, that irritating YouTuber can finally get his hair cut but it won't be easy against a Hammers side fighting for their lives.

A weekend win at Burnley has left West Ham just three points behind fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest and Nuno Espirito Santo finally has his side playing with a bit of heart.

So this is a tricky one for the reborn Red Devils and West Ham could be worth a punt at 23/20 with Betway in the double chance.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be out to impress against his old club and the Hammers full-back looks good at 9/4 with Bet365 for over 1.5 fouls.

Chelsea vs Leeds United

Liam Rosenior has made an excellent start as Chelsea boss and his side should have too much quality for Leeds at Stamford Bridge tonight.

Saturday's 3-1 win at Wolves has left the Blues just a point off the top four and they've racked up six victories in the last seven games.

So it's no surprise to see them as 8/15 hot favourites with most firms tonight, even though Leeds have been in decent form.

Chelsea have conceded in their last five so combining the home win with BTTS could pay off at 21/10 with Bet365.

Rosenior has been getting the best out of Enzo Fernandez and the midfielder has scored in three of his last five games. He's a decent 6/5 with BetMGM to either score or assist tonight.
