Wednesday's football tips: Tense battle on the cards in North London derby
Wednesdays top tips

Arsenal have the chance to fire themselves back into the Premier League title race as they prepare to renew hostilities with Tottenham in the North London derby tonight. 

Mikel Arteta is starting to feel the heat from Gunners fans after crashing out of the FA Cup to 10-man Manchester United and losing 2-0 to Newcastle in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.

But Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest has opened a door for them in the Premier League and a win tonight would fire Arsenal to within four points of the leaders.

Spurs will be desperate to blow a hole in their bitter rivals' title hopes though and Ange Postecoglou could do with a statement victory after going four league games without a win.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur top betting tips

Going for goals usually pays off with Tottenham but their 3-0 FA Cup win over minnows Tamworth ended 0-0 after 90 minutes and that came hard on the heels of a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi.

With the Gunners also struggling for goals of late, it might pay to back a cagey game, especially after the last derby ended in a 1-0 win for Arteta's side. Under 3.5 goals pays just 7/10 at BoyleSports but adding on over 8.5 corners takes you to 23/20 in a bet builder.

Things got heated in Arsenal's FA Cup tie with United, with the ref dishing out seven yellows and a red. Derbies always have the potential to boil over too and it could pay to back certain players to go in the book.

Spurs stopper Radu Dragusin looks overpriced at 11/4 for a card while Gunners midfielder Declan Rice is also a tempting 3/1. Combining those picks in a double pays a whopping 14/1.

Meanwhile at Parimatch , you can get an enhanced odds welcome offer of 50/1 on the Gunners, if you're based in the UK and setting up a new account. Given they're short odds-on, this is definitely a promo worth considering. Have a look at the fine print below.

Everton vs Aston Villa top betting tips

It will be an emotional night at Goodison Park as David Moyes makes his return to the dugout as Everton boss for their clash with Aston Villa.

The Scot has a tough task on his hands rousing a squad who looked short on belief and creativity during a dreadful run under predecessor Sean Dyche.

Moyes' past record suggests he will succeed in keeping the Toffees up but this is a tough opener with Villa boasting a far superior team.

Unai Emery's side are 5/4 with BoyleSports to ruin the homecoming party for Moyes and that looks good value after wins on their last two outings.

The atmosphere will be red-hot and Moyes will be looking for his side to fly out of the traps. So there could be some value in backing Everton to win the first corner at 20/21.

Villa midfielder Amadou Onana is going up against his old club and looks a good candidate for a card at 5/2.

Rangers vs Aberdeen top betting tips

There's a huge game in the SPFL Premiership tonight as well as Aberdeen head to Ibrox looking to pile on the pain for Rangers boss Philippe Clement.

When the Dons beat Gers 2-1 at Pittodrie earlier in the season, it sent them nine points clear of Clement's side as Jimmy Thelin's men kept pace with Celtic at the top.

But they are now nine adrift of Rangers and have dropped down to fourth after a horror run that has seen them go 11 games without a win.

Clement's side have been strong at home this season, dropping just two points, so it's no surprise to see them as BoyleSports' 2/9 hot favourites. But you can boost the odds to 7/5 by adding on under 3.5 goals in a bet builder.

Aberdeen have made some new signings and Kristers Tobers should make his second start in defence. He looks good for a card at 21/10 with Bet365.

    SSD Napoli Women v AS Roma Women
    Copa Italia women 1st leg 🇮🇹
    15 Jan 19:45

    Napoli women to score …13-8 BETWAY..
    NAP ***

    It’s a case of how many Roma want to win by but in 5 head to head this year Napoli scored in 3.
    They met almost to the day last year in this cup and Napoli won 2-0 before losing the 2nd leg 3-0.

    In the league this season Roma won 3-1 home to Napoli in September and just before Christmas it was Napoli 1 Roma 2.

    Napoli are rubbish as the league table suggests and maybe they have had this game in mind like last year for a while as they are marooned in the relegation half of the league when it splits next month whatever they do in the league.

    Fancy Napoli to net a consolation here in a 1-3 defeat.
    (But it could be 0-6 if Roma want to get the tie finished today 🤣)
