Middlesbrough to beat Port Vale – 1.80
It’s been one hell of a journey for Port Vale, with the League 2 side knocking out Premier League sides along the way. After struggling of late, they seem to be finding their stride with two wins in the last three games, a welcome change from the struggle of just one victory in the prior eight matches. However, their home ground hasn’t been the most favourable lately, with just one win in the last six games, suggesting potential difficulties in the upcoming match.
Middlesbrough, coming off a three-game losing streak, are eager to build on their recent positive result. The team looks stronger overall and is poised for success on Tuesday. The contrast in form suggests that Middlesbrough should come out on top, showcasing their dominance over Port Vale. They got a big victory last weekend against Swansea and will carry that form into this one. Expect them to shine through and get past a Port Vale side that can be proud of how far they have come.
Everton to beat Fulham – 2.00
You can’t help but smile as Sean Dyche works his magic on Merseyside. Everton are riding high on a fantastic four-game winning streak, impressively keeping clean sheets throughout this period. With just one loss in their last six home games, they enter the midweek clash with confidence.
In contrast, Fulham look to rebound after their latest result interrupted a streak of back-to-back 5-0 victories. However, their recent struggles away from home, losing the last three consecutive games, suggest they might face another setback in this fixture. The odds seem to favour Everton, with their solid form and home advantage.
Newcastle United to beat Chelsea – 4.20
The Blues, who have faced defeat in their last two Carabao Cup finals, secured a 2-0 win against Sheffield United in the Premier League over the weekend, marking a return to winning form. For Mauricio Pochettino’s team, domestic cup competitions represent a crucial avenue for silverware this season, having triumphed over AFC Wimbledon, Brighton, and Blackburn Rovers to reach the quarter-finals.
On the other side, Newcastle, despite never having won any iteration of the Carabao Cup, come into the clash with momentum. They reached the final last year but suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester United. The Magpies have already eliminated the Red Devils and Manchester City in the last round, they seem to be a better-rounded side so expect them to pull off an away win here in London.
Liverpool to beat West Ham – 1.41
The final Carabao Cup quarter-final unfolds at Anfield on Wednesday night as Liverpool play host to a buoyant West Ham on Merseyside. Jurgen Klopp’s title-aspiring squad faced frustration against bitter rivals Manchester United over the weekend, settling for a draw and relinquishing their top spot in the Premier League table.
On the other side, West Ham, recovering from a defeat to Fulham, secured impressive back-to-back wins, notably a superb 3-0 triumph over Wolves on Sunday. The Hammers aspire to reach their first League Cup semi-final since the 2013/14 campaign, while Liverpool boast a remarkable record as nine-time winners of the competition. The clash promises an intense battle between the title-hungry Reds and the determined Hammers. But Liverpool have been good of late and you can see them bouncing back here and securing a spot in the semis.
