Football: Leeds to take Spurs into extra time

SPORTS BETTING

EXTRA TIME beckons. Tottenham, whose last five league games have all ended in stalemates, may be held to a draw in 90 minutes by Leeds in their FA Cup replay at White Hart Lane tomorrow night.

Spurs are an improved side under George Graham but, after a couple of league disappointments, Leeds have bounced back with victories at Aston Villa and at home to Everton.

Blackburn may also be held to a draw in 90 minutes by Newcastle at Ewood Park. Blackburn were woeful when going down 4-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, but Newcastle were not much better in losing 2-1 to Southampton at The Dell.

First Division Huddersfield, although held 0-0 by Tranmere at home on Saturday, could force premiership Derby into a draw in 90 minutes at Pride Park. Derby looked poor when losing 1-0 at home to Charlton on Saturday.

Finally, Arsenal should make short work of Sheffield United at Highbury tonight. The Blades deserved a draw in their controversial 2-1 defeat in the first game but the Gunners - following their 5-0 win over Leicester - can make class count.
