Those of a certain vintage might have cast their minds back almost 30 years ago when the full-time whistle blew at Goodison on Wednesday night with the score at 4-4.
It was the 20th Feb 1991 when Liverpool and Everton shared eight goals in what’s widely thought of as the greatest Merseyside Derby ever played – and legend Kenny Dalglish’s last match in the Reds’ dugout.
Without fans the games are incomparable but it was nonetheless very worthwhile telly on a wintery Wednesday night as Everton and Spurs slugged it out for a place in the quarter finals. The Toffees came out on top eventually, winning 5-4 in extra-time.
Leicester left it late – very late – to see off Brighton, Iheanacho nodding in the winner with virtually the last touch of the match.
And it was pleasing to see Swansea notch a consolation goal against Man City to bring up Wednesday’s Super Single of no City clean sheet at even money.
Thursday’s Football Tips
Bayern Munich have the opportunity to be crowned World Club Champions if they can beat UNAL Tigres of Mexico in Qatar. European sides have come out on top in the last seven editions of the competition so the bookies are taking no chances and have priced the Germans at 1/6 to win inside 90 minutes.
SlipsTips has taken a closer look at the betting markets and unearthed a couple of Bet Builder Tips at 1/1 and 11/10.
With both teams struggling for a bit of form it could be a bit of a scrap at Molineux where Wolves welcome Southampton in the FA Cup. The Saints need a pick-me-up after that 9-0 mauling at Old Trafford which was followed by a 3-2 defeat to Newcastle. On paper there’s not much to separate the two sides so 11/5 on the away win could represent a bit of value.
The Fifth Round of the competition ends with Chelsea’s visit to Barnsley. Thomas tuchel would love to deliver some silverware in his first months in the Chelsea hotseat and the Blues are 1/4 to secure their place in the quarter-finals within the 90 minutes.
