James Butler looks ahead to Tuesday night in the EFL League Cup, AKA the Carabao Cup, and picks out five matches involving Premier League sides to form a treble and a fivefold acca.
Five Premier League sides are in business on Tuesday evening in the Carabao Cup. I'm going to pick you out a treble and then add two on just to boost the price a little bit towards the end.
Everton v Doncaster
Everton find themselves rock bottom of the Premier League with no goals scored and seven conceded in defeats to Brighton and Spurs. It's been a pretty ramshackle start for Sean Dyche's Toffees. Doncaster are seventh in League Two, scoring six goals in three games and the old warhorse Billy Sharp and 26-year-old Luke Molyneux have been in the goals for Donny.
But a trip to Goodison Park remains a big challenge for the South Yorkshire side but they should score. Everyone else is against Everton's defence! Everton to win and BTTS is 8/5.
Brighton v Crawley
Brighton have started the season strongly with wins against Everton and Manchester United.
Danny Welbeck is two-in-two in front of goal but expect changes for the visit of Crawley. Evan Ferguson, the Irishman, is 23/20 anytime and could well start.
Crawley are eighth in League One but have only scored twice in three matches. Brighton should win this comfortably. Brighton win and over 3.5 match goals is 6/4.
Leicester v Tranmere
Leicester have drawn with Spurs and lost to Fulham as their return to the Premier League is yet to yield a win. Mid-table in League Two, Tranmere have lost three of four competitive matches this season, including a loss to Everton under-21s in the EFL Trophy. I can't see a shock in this match. The Foxes to score in both halves is 10/11.
If you put those three selections together that's a 10.93/1 treble.
Two additional Carabao Cup selections
Over 2.5 goals in Crystal Palace v Norwich has a real chance at 4/6 and Birmingham are at home to Premier League Fulham and BTTS in that one, after Birmingham got off to a good start this season, and so have Fulham. BTTS is 8/13.
So, if you add those two picks to the initial treble it takes the acca up to 31.12/1.
Everton to win and BTTS is 8/5
Brighton win and over 3.5 match goals is 6/4
Leicester to score in both halves is 10/11
Over 2.5 goals in Crystal Palace v Norwich is 4/6
Birmingham v Fulham - BTTS at 8/13
Gamble responsibly everybody and enjoy the football on Tuesday evening.
