HAPPY Hammer DANNY Mercer’s (@OneDannyMercer) found a bookings bet he’s keen to share as his beloved West Ham take on Spurs at White Hart Lane in the early Sunday kick-off.

Tottenham v West Ham | Sunday 12.00 | BT Sport 1

What a London derby we have in store for Sunday. Expect the cards to flow as north meets east as these two teams enjoy serving up a feisty affair – three red cards in the last four head-to-head showdowns is evidence alone.

Jonathan Moss has been given the job for keeping the sides in check and he’s already dished out 42 cards in just nine live league games this season. That’s a great start as we begin our hunt for a winning card bet.

Hosts Spurs have been averaging the most yellows per-live-game at 3.25 this season while West Ham have collected just 1.87. So looking at Tottenham,

Nabil Bentaleb is a gifted young footballer who’s started to form a great midfield partnership with Ryan Mason. These two young lads really put it about, so no surprise to see them in the referees notebook often.

Bentaleb has been carded twice in his last three Premier League fixtures with both coming in front of the live TV cameras. The Algerian has also been booked in his last two London derbies at White Hart Lane (against Chelsea and Arsenal) as well as his last two games on home soil and can make it a hat-trick against the Hammers with Betfred at 11/4.

The midfielder has been booked for dissent in the past and usually racks up the fouls. I’ve seen him make some cynical challenges and he’ll often look to bring players down once they go passed him. He’ll take one or two for the team rather than allow the opposition to saunter into the space behind him and that’s a dangerous game with referees quick to clamp down on the cynicism.

I was brought into the betting world from a young age when my parents asked me to pick out a few horses. I’ve been hooked since but only seriously started punting in the past four years. I’ve used my wealth of knowledge from the English game along with my passion for stats and trends to try to find that winning angle. I work hard but enjoy nothing more than studying the form in the hope of getting that extra edge, whether it be from the non-leagues or the Premier League. And if I can help anyone pocket a few quid, it makes the hard work even more worthwhile.
