Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 6pm

Tottenham to beat Southampton

Bournemouth to beat Millwall

Rotherham to beat Middlesbrough

Wycombe to beat Bristol City

Spurs should have too much for the Saints and Bournemouth can boost their Championship promotion chances by seeing off Millwall. Rotherham continue to improve in the second tier and bottom side Wycombe are not as bad as their league standing suggests.

Tottenham v Southampton

Sky Sports Main Event & Premier League, 6pm

Aston Villa v Manchester City

Sky Sports Main Event & Premier League, 8.15pm

Manchester City have an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League, but they have to pick themselves up after defeat to Leeds and Chelsea and they could be vulnerable without injured star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

Cards bet of the day

Tottenham v Southampton

League Cup final places are up for grabs under a new temporary manager so expect Tottenham to put in a committed performance against Southampton. Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg picked up his 12th booking of the season in the 2-2 draw at Everton and he could get another card against his former club.

Best bet
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to be booked
