The ‘favourite’ will often rest key players, and for the weaker side, cup games can often feel like a welcome relief - especially if they’ve just had a bad run of form in the league.

So let’s talk: Burnley v Tottenham.

Tottenham have to travel to Burnley - which aside from being one of the most depressing places on earth, is also a very tough team to play.

Burnley love nothing more than kicking the sh*t out of more technically-inclined sides - so this one could easily go The Claret’s way at +190.

And Leicester v Brighton could also see an upset.

Brighton are without a win in four, but they’re playing great football this season AND sit higher in the league- so a win for the Seagulls is well worth a look at +280 - especially if the likes of Vardyand Maddisonstay on the Lester bench.

So if you're looking for an underdog in the Cup this Wednesday here are my picks:
