With six EFL Cup matches taking place on Wednesday, fans can expect a thrilling line-up of matches, featuring both English Premier League giants and ambitious lower-league challengers.
In this article, we will be taking a closer look at a selection of the games, picking out our top tips and best booking code for tonight’s action (odds 90 minutes only, available at time of writing:
Brighton vs Liverpool
Brighton may have enjoyed a positive start to the 2024/25 season under new boss Fabian Hurzeler, sitting sixth in the table with four wins, four draws and one defeat from nine Premier League fixtures, but they will be the underdogs heading into this one.
Liverpool have been fantastic at the beginning of this term, sitting second in the table with seven wins, one draw and one defeat, while they have incredibly won 11 of their opening 13 matches across all competitions.
With Liverpool’s phenomenal form heading into this one, we ultimately believe the Reds will win here.
Liverpool to win, 2.06
Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Cole Palmer has carried over his remarkable 2023/24 form into the opening stages of this campaign, with the attacking midfielder already tallying seven goals and five assists from just 11 appearances for Chelsea.
That includes a goal in the 2-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League over the past weekend, while he also netted an offside goal earlier in the game. With Palmer proving he can terrorise the Newcastle defence, we believe he will score once again tonight.
Cole Palmer to score anytime, 2.70
Manchester United vs Leicester City
Manchester United announced the sacking of Erik ten Hag on Monday morning, and while there are plenty of reports concerning the possible signing of a new permanent manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy is likely to take charge of the team in this EFL Cup fixture.
When teams sack poorly-performing managers there is often a ‘new manager bounce’, with teams performing better as there is almost a reset over the clubs status after the change in boss. With this, as well as Leicester City struggling at the beginning of this term, winning just three of their 11 fixtures, the hosts should progress to the next round of the EFL Cup.
Manchester United to win by 1 goal, 3.70
Tottenham vs Manchester City
Manchester City have been the team to beat at the beginning of this term, a feat that no team has yet been able to achieve after 14 games across all competitions, with the Citizens winning 11 and drawing three.
With the likes of Erling Haaland expected to be rested, Man City still should have enough to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the third time in a row but expect it to be a very tight affair.
Manchester City to win by 1 goal, 4.15
