Enough of the usual mildly entertaining rambling about the world of football.

We need a winner and we need one now or the whole raison d’etre of this tipping column could be called into question.

Recent form means you are more likely to see Dimitri Payet in the Blind Beggar than Betting Spy at the payout window.

So it’s less musing and moaning this week and more analysis as we search for those elusive winners.

And the hunt begins at the Etihad where a shell-shocked Man City play host to a rampant Spurs side.

It pains me to say this as a West Ham fan, but Tottenham are playing better than anyone at the moment which has left the bookies in a bit of a bind pricing this one up.

They look to have Spurs way too big at 5/2 and I can see the away side’s strike force playing havoc with a very vulnerable looking City back line.

I also like the look of Everton away to a Crystal Palace side who aren’t showing much of a positive response to the arrival of Sam Allardyce.

It must be a culture shock for the side used to Alan Pardew to now adapt to Big Sam’s style and they look there for the taking by the Toffees.

The Spurs and Everton double pays 7/1 which would be a step in the right direction for Betting Spy’s bank balance.
