Gunners to Ease to Victory Over Eagles

London clubs Arsenal and Crystal Palace lock horns in the last eight of the EFL Cup. The Gunners will back themselves to get the job done at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s men are on an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak, winning five and drawing three. Palace beat rivals Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, but this will be a stern test for Oliver Glasner’s boys. Back Arsenal to win -1 at 1.64.

Arsenal to Win -1 – 1.64

Bet on Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

Magpies to See Off Bees at St James’

Newcastle United and Brentford meet at St James’ Park on Wednesday. These two teams battled in the Premier League recently, with the Bees running out 4-2 winners on home turf. Can the Magpies get revenge in this cup clash?

There have been 12 goals scored in the last two meetings between the pair, and this is likely to be another high-scoring encounter. We fancy Newcastle to make home advantage count, and odds of 3.25 for the home win and over 3.5 goals are too good to turn down.

Newcastle United Win & Over 3.5 Goals – 3.25

Comfortable Away Victory for Slot’s Superstars

Arne Slot takes his Liverpool troops to St Mary’s Stadium to face Southampton in midweek. The Reds lead the way at the top of the Premier League table, while the Saints sit rock bottom. As you expect, Liverpool are the strong favourites to win this cup game.

Slot has made a stunning start to his Anfield career, losing just one of his opening 23 league and cup matches. In contrast, Southampton have won only three times this term. Take a punt on Liverpool to win to nil here at 2.75.

Too Close to Call Between Spurs & United

On Thursday night, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both teams are hoping to build on weekend wins, but who will reach the last four of the EFL Cup?

Spurs hammered Southampton 5-0 at St Mary’s on Sunday, while United came from behind to stun rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Tottenham beat the Red Devils 3-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season, but we expect this cup game to be a tighter affair. The draw in the 90 is well worth backing at 3.90.

Draw – 3.90
