Today's best accumulator bets
Bets to be placed by 4.30pm
Manchester City to beat Tottenham
Sevilla to beat Granada
Aston Villa to beat West Brom
Atletico Madrid to beat Athletic Bilbao
Manchester City have won the League Cup in each of the last three seasons and should be too strong for a Spurs side likely to be without talisman Harry Kane.
Sevilla still harness slim title hopes in La Liga and can record a fifth straight success at home to Granada, while Aston Villa should outlast West Brom, who are in relegation danger and 20 points below their Midlands rivals in the Premier League table.
La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid can complete the four-fold, which pays just over 7-1 with William Hill, when they travel to an Athletic Bilbao side who are winless in eight and without a goal in three.

Manchester City v Tottenham Sky Sports Main Event, 4.30pm
Spurs left-back Sergio Reguilon loves to get forward but can be susceptible to losses of concentration when on defensive duties and may get caught up in the heat of the moment. He was booked in the first half of Tottenham's recent derby defeats at West Ham and Arsenal and is 13-5 with bet365 to be shown a card against City.
