EFL Cup Burnley vs Manchester City

EFL Cup Burnley vs Manchester City 14:00 ET Burnley come into today's game having yet to pick up a point in the Premier League. The Clarets opened their 2020/21 top-flight campaign with a 4-2 hammering away at Leicester and were beaten 1-0 at home by Southampton a week later.

EFL Cup Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

English Football League Cup Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea 14:45 ET Duel of proportions will live the Spurs of The Special One, who have had a couple of irregular results at the beginning of the Premier League. Defeats with Everton in the debut and on the last date a tie with Newcastle have not achieved the perfect start that they expected from those led by Mou. Of course, they had a great win against Southampton, all this while the set-up of Gareth Bale approaches. On the side of the Blues, the galactic signings have not turned out well in the English league either and that they have eighths, just equaled in points with Tottenham. The pressure is strong in London and that those led by Frank Lampard have not yet fully demonstrated with the stars who hired this period. Great game and that will have both wanting to demonstrate their power in a duel that could perfectly be a final.

EFL Cup Lincoln City vs Liverpool

English Football League Cup Lincoln City vs Liverpool 14:45 ET Liverpool enter the Carabao Cup at this third-round stage owing to their participation in European football. They go into tonight's game as obvious favorites having won the Premier League last season and with the wealth of talent at the club. The Reds have won the EFL Cup a record eight times, though the last time they lifted the trophy was in 2012. Their last appearance in the final was in 2016 where they were beaten by Manchester City. Last year, Jurgen Klopp's side exited the competition at the quarter-final stage after a 5-0 loss to Aston Villa. A vastly inexperienced side was fielded that day while the first-team squad participated in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar. Since returning to Premier League football, Liverpool have recorded two victories in their opening two games with wins at home to newly-promoted Leeds United and away at Chelsea. Lincoln failed to progress past...

EFL Cup Manchester City vs Bournemouth

English Football League Cup Manchester City vs Bournemouth 14:45 ET Manchester City host Bournemouth this evening as Pep Guardiola’s side begin their bid to lift the Carabao Cup trophy for the fourth season running. Although their eyes will be on a record-equalling eighth title in the competition, City must first get through this third-round tie. Bournemouth, relegated from the Premier League last season, claimed a top-flight scalp in the second round earlier this month when they defeated Crystal Palace on penalties. The Cherries’ confidence will therefore be high, and City will be without numerous first-team players, further increasing the chances of an upset. LIVE STREAM

EFL Cup Leicester City vs Arsenal

English Football League Cup Leicester City vs Arsenal Arsenal travel to Leicester City today to take on the Foxes in the Carabao Cup 3rd round. The Gunners have struggled at the King Power, amassing a poor 1-2-3 record since the Foxes returned to the Premier League in 2014. Of course, no fans in the stadium because of COVID-19 makes it a different story. Arsenal have only won the League Cup twice in club history: 86-87 and 92-93. With the final coming at the end of February, Mikel Arteta needs to win this one to keep up his 1 trophy every 30-odd matches record. Here are my hopes for today’s match, in order of importance: no injuries, squad rotation / minutes for younger players, actually winning the match. We say it every year but in this condensed, fixture-congested season it rings even more true: taking matchdays off the calendar by going out of a cup competition would not be the worst thing in the world. As a reminder, I always want Arsenal to win, but today, not winning wo...

EFL Cup Luton Town vs Manchester United

English Football League Cup Luton Town vs Manchester United Manchester United enter the Carabao Cup at this third-round stage owing to their participation in European football. Having won the competition five times, the last being in the 2016/7 season, the Red Devils are favorites to progress facing lower league opposition in Luton Town. That being said, Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side faced defeat in their most recent outing at home to Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener. He'll want his side to turn their fortunes around quickly avoid a cup upset and get back to winning ways ahead of a visit to Brighton in the Premier League at the weekend. Luton Town defeated fellow Championship sides Norwich and Reading to reach round three. The Hatters have also seen off Barnsley and Derby County in the Championship so far this season making it four wins from four for Nathan Jones's side. Despite the good form, Luton still go into the game as underdogs and will be hoping f...

EFL Cup West Ham United vs Hull City

English Football League Cup West Ham United vs Hull City West Ham boss Moyes could decide to select the exact same XI from the last round against Charlton, with Haller, who is behind Antonio in the pecking order at the club, again leading the line. Manuel Lanzini, Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko are all out of favour when it comes to the Premier League, but the trio started against Charlton and should again be handed places in the side here. There are also expected to be starting roles for Robert Snodgrass and Josh Cullen, while Xande Silva was on the bench in the last round and could be involved in this clash. As for Hull, McCann is likely to make alternations from the team that started against Crewe in the league on Saturday, but the bulk of the XI could remain in place. Indeed, Wilks started the last round against Leeds and should continue in the team, while George Honeyman and Keane Lewis-Potter should also feature for the visitors. Daniel Batty, Callum Jones and Le...
