Man United, Leicester and Man City headline Tuesday’s Carabao Cup action

Coral look at the key stories from the fourth round  

The Carabao Cup enters the fourth round stage on Tuesday with 12 teams battling it out on the night for a place in the quarter-finals.

Manchester City host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad, while Manchester United head to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City in the pick of the ties.

Coral have a look at those two fixtures and more ahead of Tuesday evening’s action…

Battle of the big-spenders

Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers may be in different leagues, but they both share a burning level of ambition. The pair were the biggest spenders in their respective divisions over the summer. And while Man City sit atop the Premier League, Wolves are also flying high in the Championship.

With the hosts likely to rest players for this clash, the visitors could surprise a few people. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side disposed of Southampton in the last round. And while it’ll be more difficult at the Etihad, they should at least cause the Citizens problems.

On that basis, Coral’s 5/4 on Manchester City to Win and Both Teams to Score looks the one to be on. Wolves’ Diego Jota is also tempting at 2/1 to score Anytime, as is City’s Ilkay Gundogan at 19/10.

Can Man United bounce back?

Manchester United have a fantastic relationship with the Carabao Cup. They’re the current holders of the competition and have won the tournament four times since 2005. Against Swansea, the Coral News Team doesn’t think that Mourinho’s charges should prevail, but not as easily as some seem to think.
