Who Will Reach the Carabao Cup Quarter Finals?
October 31 and November 1 sees the last 16 of the Carabao Cup take place. Will there be any shocks as teams bid to reach the quarter finals?
Tractor Boys to cause another upset
The only possible ties that can see a top flight club beaten by a lower league side are at Stamford Bridge and Portman Road.
Ipswich Town could well be back in the Premier League next season and can reach the last eight. They beat Wolves at home in the last round and they can be backed at 9/5 at BetVictor to also knock out Fulham.
Chelsea remain inconsistent and host Blackburn Rovers. This and the FA Cup look like their only chances of winning something this season. It’s hard to trust the Blues and 21/20 at bet365 for both teams to score looks the bet to place.
Repeat of Last Season’s Final
Last season saw Manchester United beat Newcastle to win the Carabao Cup final. They meet again on Wednesday, this time at Old Trafford. United are still struggling for consistency and Newcastle are trying to cope with a busy schedule. William Hill offer 12/5 on this game being a draw after 90 minutes.
Arsenal are 9/2 at BetVictor to win the Carabao Cup. They won again at the weekend and travel to a West Ham side currently on a bad run. Take the 5/4 at bet365 on the Gunners winning this.
Liverpool had another comfortable win on Sunday and should be able to win at Bournemouth. It’s 1/2 at BetVictor they win on the south coast.
Everton had a good win at West Ham on Sunday and can be backed at 1/1 with William Hill to beat Burnley at home.
The other two ties both guarantee non-Premier League sides in the last eight. Middlesbrough are our tip to win at Exeter and are 4/5 at bet365. 1/1 at William Hill on Mansfield to beat Port Vale also looks a good bet.
