There is more exciting football on the horizon, as the EFL Cup returns for the Fourth Round.
Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all in action, while Newcastle vs Tottenham is arguably the standout tie of the round.
Check out our sports betting tips (featuring the best football odds on NetBet) for the upcoming EFL Cup fixtures, which get underway tomorrow evening.
*All odds are subject to change
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace: Player to score or assist – Federico Chiesa @ 2.10
In the eyes of many Liverpool fans, Chiesa should have been given more chances in recent weeks. The Italian has performed well whenever given minutes, but Arne Slot has remained loyal to Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo. However, this match represents the perfect opportunity to start Chiesa, and if that is the case, we are backing him to deliver the goods. Chiesa scored in Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace last month, while he tallied two assists in the Third Round win over Southampton at Anfield.
Tottenham to beat Newcastle @ 4.10
Spurs continued their stellar away form on the weekend, beating Everton 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Thomas Frank’s side have claimed some fantastic victories on their travels this season, beating Manchester City 2-0, West Ham 3-0 and Leeds 2-1. Of course, a trip to St James’ Park is one of the most daunting in English football, but this Spurs side appears to have more steel, partly due to the addition of midfield destroyer Joao Palhinha. So although the North Londoners have lost five of the last six vs Newcastle, we are taking a risk and backing them to silence the passionate Geordie fans on Wednesday evening.
Arsenal vs Brighton: Anytime goalscorer – Ethan Nwaneri @ 3.00
Bukayo Saka has been struggling with illness, so we expect him to be afforded a night off for Brighton’s visit to the Emirates. Nwaneri is the logical replacement, even though Gabriel Martinelli came on ahead of the teenager in the 1-0 over Crystal Palace. Nwaneri has a fantastic record in this competition, scoring three goals in four appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. And with Brighton yet to keep a clean sheet vs a Premier League opponent this season, you have to fancy Arsenal to grab at least one goal in this Fourth Round tie. And Nwaneri’s odds in this market look too appealing to turn down!
Wrexham vs Cardiff: Total goals – Under 2.5 @ 1.79
Games featuring Wrexham have certainly not been goal-filled of late. In fact, the ‘under 2.5’ selection would have landed in the Red Dragons’ last seven matches across all competitions. So we could be in for a low-scoring thriller in this all-Welsh derby, with Cardiff likely to defend deep – especially after suffering a 1-0 loss at Bolton on the weekend. We would not be shocked if this match went beyond the regulation 90 minutes!
