Despite a relatively poor away record, Coventry are no mugs and are certainly not easy to beat, though if we consider the achievements of both teams, it's easy to feel that Wycombe have been overlooked slightly in the betting. It feels as though the last few games have been factored into the price of the hosts a little too much. The excellent home form of The Chairboys cannot be ignored. Frankly, Wycombe's home efforts are superior to Coventry's on the road. They've performed better in terms points and goals, as well as in terms of both shots and shots on target. Having beaten some useful sides such as Sunderland, Burton, Shrewsbury and Doncaster of late, the hosts are backed to get the better of a Coventry side that remains winless on the road.

The Debate: Why Virgil van Dijk should win PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez, Kevin de Bruyne celebrateGetty Images Surely fixtures and fitness permitting he will break Thierry Henry's record of 20 in one season.

Kane and Son have both made the transition from underrated to Europe’s finest. And this isn’t saying Moura is at that level. It’s just that while Spurs cater to the aforementioned duo, Moura is left – often successfully, recently less so – filling whatever vacancy in the team remains.

Tottenham v Leicester (Premier League, 16:00 BST)Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho seems to have found a settled side and they have started to play a bit better, although it is too late for them to make the top four.

He will, however, be a very popular goalscorer among Blades fans who appreciate the hunger and work ethic he brings to every performance. And, despite that lack of goals, his sharpness was in evidence when he pounced midway through the first half. Mason Mount lost the ball for Chelsea, Kepa somehow kept out McBurnie's deflected volley but McGoldrick followed up to lash home the opening goal. He then got a well-deserved second with 13 minutes to go as his driving run created an opening and he was in the right place to bury the loose ball.
