chickendinner have already told you that Tottenham’s impressive recent record in cup competitions makes an upset unlikely tonight but here are some more interesting statistics to help you gamble on the first leg at White Hart Lane:
» The two sides have met four times in the League Cup, with both teams progressing on two occasions each.
» 12 of the last 13 encounters between the two sides finished with more than 2.5 goals.
» Tottenham have won six, drawn three and lost one of their ten home games under Harry Redknapp.
» Burnley are unbeaten in five trips to London this season, although they have only won one of them in ninety minutes, with two finishing 0-0 and two 1-1.
» Besides incidents where they have lost in their first game of a competition, Tottenham haven’t been upset by lower league opposition since 2002, when they lost 2-1 away to tonight’s opposition Burnley.
