There is just one Premier League encounter on Sunday to preview as Tottenham host QPR in a London derby at White Hart Lane.
Harry Redknapp’s Spurs go into the game looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches following defeats to Manchester United and City in their opening two matches of the Premier League campaign.
Indeed they have picked up 16 points from their opening eight matches, which is their joint-best start to a Premier League season and they will hope to improve on that this weekend.
Redknapp’s side, who have not lost a London derby in the league on home soil in 16 matches, also have history on their side having done the double over the R’s when they were last in the Premier League back in the 1995-96 season.
Spurs could have Williams Gallas back in the side if he passes a fitness test, while Steven Pienaar is in line to make his first appearance of the season, but Tom Huddlestone, Michael Dawson and Ledley King are still out.
Neil Warnock’s R’s make the 13-mile trip across the Capital boosted by last Sunday’s 1-0 derby win against Chelsea in a controversial clash at Loftus Road.
QPR’s last all-London clash away from home resulted in a 6-0 thrashing at Fulham, but they have also won on the road at Everton and Wolves this season so should not be underestimated by Spurs.
Warnock will hope to have defenders Danny Gabbidon and Armand Traore available following their recovery from respective knee and thigh complaints in the past week.
Looking at the game and Spurs have managed to score at least two goals in each of their last six league outings, while loan striker Emmanuel Adebayor has a habit of finding the net against Londoner clubs and must be worth considering at 7/2 First Goalscorer.
QPR’s talisman Adel Taarabt has failed to score in his last 11 league and cup games for the club and will be looking to break his duck against his former club at 5/2 Anytime Goalscorer.
However, it is Tottenham who are in a hot streak of form and there should be only one outcome in this match.
Prediction: Spurs Home 90 Minutes @ 2/5
Value Bet: Van der Vaart 1st Scorer Spurs 3-1 Scorecast @ 30/1
