EFL Cup quarter-finals tips including Liverpool v Leeds cracker and Man Utd v West Ham

Despite Hull City being the top-flight team in this tussle, it is Newcastle that are performing with attacking class as they look a cert for promotion back to the PL, with the Tigers seemingly likely for the drop.

Mike Phelan’s men rallied to a spirited draw last time out on league duty, while the Magpies stumbled. But, there’s no getting away from the depth on the Tyneside team’s bench.

It’s not often you’ll find Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle boys anything but odds-on to win this term, so simply take advantage of their 6/5 price for road trip success in normal time here.

Arsenal to best Saints and both score

This should be a truly tasty scuffle, as Southampton journey up from the south coast to the capital. Arsenal toppled Saints’ local rivals Bournemouth at the weekend 3-1, with their attack overcoming a few defensive wobbles.

The Londoners are unbeaten at the Emirates across all competitions for a run of 10 matches, but have conceded in all of their last six outings whether home or away.

So, with that in mind, plus the fact that an earlier league meeting this season saw the Gunners beat Saints with both teams on target, back Arsenal for victory in 90 mins and the two teams to each score again at a tempting 12/5.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic first home team scorer in Man Utd v West Ham odds

Jose Mourinho has shown his will to win in this competition as he chases his first silverware with the Red Devils, which was illustrated as the Portuguese fielded a strong side versus Manchester City in the previous round.

There will surely be changes from the weekend Premier League encounter with West Ham, as United welcome the Hammers back to Old Trafford for the second time in four days, but perhaps not too many.

Man Utd were all over the Irons in that encounter, but failed to bag more than a point, so should be revved up to set that straight and come away with the spoils this time.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back in form for the Mancunians, having forced an own goal and scored another in his past two outings. As the sole scorer in Utd red against West Ham on Sunday he could be called upon again and, if the big Swede does play, he is 2/1 to be first home team scorer in 90 minutes.
