Latest football odds: Fa Cup 3rd round - Reading vs Spurs

Reading manager Steve Coppell must look at the Spurs squad who visit the Madejski Stadium for their FA Cup third round replay on Tuesday and think that with a half decent man in charge his side should stand no chance. However Coppell sent out a reserve team at White Hart Lane and almost pulled off a shock win so the former Manchester United player knows his side have nothing to fear tonight.

Such is their previous form against each other this season that Paddy Power go a skinny 11/8 that four or more goals are scored in the tie. Looking closer at the recent form of the two however indicates where the problems lie. For Spurs Paul Robinson has lost all form and since he bizarrely let in Stephen Hunt's goal in the 2-2 draw he has found himself warming the bench. Whether Juande Ramos goes for some reverse psychology and recalls Robinson for the replay is anyone's guess but his replacement Radek Cerny has done little wrong. Reading are suffering from their own lack of confidence and haven't won in five games and have conceded 13 goals in their last four. In the last two years they have been knocked out of the FA Cup by Premier League opposition and despite the chance to beat Spurs Coppell will again turn to his squad players to do a job for him as Premier League survival is the be all and end all for the Berkshire club. Tottenham, who have finished fifth in the league in the past two seasons are just one place above Reading in the league and finishing in the European places looks beyond them this season so the Cups are their only hope. However the winner of this tie goes on to play Manchester United so the north London side's players may have that knowledge in the back of their minds and feel that beating Arsenal in the Carling Cup semi-final is their one true hope of European qualification this season. Ramos has good pedigree in Cup competitions having guided Sevilla to two Uefa Cups and last season's Spanish Cup and Spurs have reached the quarter-final stage of this competition three times in the last six seasons. Expect Spurs to win and Dimitar Berbatov to score as he is still available in the January transfer market so will need to impress potential suitors after a poor display against Chelsea at the weekend. Plus the Bulgarian striker has scored six times the last two times he has faced Reading. Verdict: 1pt Berbatov to score and Spurs win 21/10 (Paddy Power) Click here for a free Paddy Power Poker $600 welcome bonus when you join Paddy Power Poker
