Wembley badly needs Watford and Wolves (4pm) to serve up a big FA Cup semi-final.
The home of football is rapidly slipping down the capital’s pecking order of ‘bigness’.
Already the Boris Blunderdome somehow seems bigger – the biggest balls-up negotiated by a London mayor since Dick Whittington’s cat swapped Tower Bridge for a pair of kippers.
Now Tottenham ’s new home has the biggest stand, or the biggest drains, or something.
It’s certainly got the biggest bar, opened by Spurs legend Chris Waddle with a ceremonial pint of thrice-brewed craft pilsner, which he side-footed into the optics from 12 yards before blowing his nose in his shirt.
Wembley will at least have one of the biggest Prem talents on show – Wolves giant Raul Jimenez.
He’s a big-game player who has already had it large and scored at the venue this season.
Get on the 7/4 (90mins) Raul Jimenez can find the net again.
Arsenal look vulnerable favourites when they go to Goodison Park (2.05pm).
Everton were buzzing at West Ham last week, it was men against bollards at times, though they can’t take all the credit for that.
The Toffees are quietly growing in stature... literally in the case of Richarlison, who gives the strange impression he's having a growth spurt at 21.
Arsenal’s Europa League date with Napoli looms large, and they have managed just one domestic clean sheet on the road all season.
I’ll take two of Everton’s ‘nearly’ men from the reverse fixture, Michael Keane, ‘anytime scorer’ at 14/1 (Paddy) and Richarlison ‘anytime’ at 15/8 – borderline on his season’s stats, but he might have outgrown those.
Impossible to say which Chelsea will turn up at Stamford Bridge (8pm, tomorrow), or which West Ham.
Mauricio Sarri has a huge Europa trip ahead, so 1/3 the Blues looks like thin wages for some hard guesswork.
The Hammers, jewel in the crown of the Cockney Franchise & Love Eggs Co. PLC, are up and down like a pair of edible knickers, but do park a decent bus when the mood takes them.
The 6/4 UNDER 2.5 goals and 18/1 ‘no scorer’ (both Fred) could be value.
Last week: Winner at 10/11
