The @BetfairSports Mega Minute is back and we're giving you the chance to win a cool £500 simply by guessing the time of the first goal in Tottenham v Chelsea on Sunday

Spurs and Chelsea make the short trip to Wembley for what promises to be an intriguing affair in the second of the weekend's semi-finals.

Will the Blues field a weakened side ahead of the crunch Champions League clash with Barcelona on Wednesday? Will Tottenham pay the price for a defensive injury crisis, with Kaboul, Dawson and King all ruled out? Here is what the Betfair market thinks.

Whoever turns out, it is expected to be a tight game with chances at a premium. But, when will the first goal be scored?

Follow The Money: Three bets in a 20 minute blast

Will there be winners this Sunday?

"Even if not at his best Spirit Of Adjisa should be able to win a race like this fairly comfortably, and he is favoured to do so with the money down."

Today's Follow The Money Movers come from Kempton, Market Rasen and Sedgefield and they're off at 13:50, 14:00 and 14:10.

We start Sunday's bets with the opening race at Kempton, the 13:50 class 6 handicap where good support has been registered for Bold Diva moving from an early [6.6] in to [4.8]. A creditable fifth here 10 days ago, beaten a little over two lengths in a close finish by the useful West Leake, should have her spot on for this. With punters taking heart that the distance and surface suit it looks like a good run is expected today.

Next up is the 14:00 class 4 novices hurdle at Market Rasen where Spirit Of Adjisa has attracted heavy support moving in from a high of [2.4] to [1.92]. He performed well last season when running in to the likes of Finians Rainbow and Oscar whisky who are both festival bound, and there doesn't appear to be anything of that class in today's race. A 24 length winner of his last race at Bangor shows the sort of ability he has, though that was 257 days ago. Nevertheless, his trainer has stated that the horse shows a good, willing attitude and has hopes that Spirit Of Adjisa can line up at one of the festivals. Even if not at his best he should be able to win a race like this fairly comfortably, and he is favoured to do so with the money down.

Our final race, and today's negative, takes us to the 14:10 at Sedgefield where we have seen Lamps on the slide from [2.2] out to [2.68]. On the face of it Lamps has obvious claims in a race such as this, however it is interesting to note that market rival Palawi is attracting far more confident support from punters, taking Lamps place as favourite, and for that reason he may be worth taking on at the prices.
