Manchester City host Brighton at the Etihad Stadium in a clash between two teams that like to play attacking football. City will be looking to make the most of home advantage, but Brighton have shown they can cause problems for any opponent. The hosts have plenty of strength in their squad, which could prove important if they rotate players. Brighton should make it competitive, but City may have enough quality to book their place in the next round.
Sunderland 51/20 | Draw 49/20 | Brentford 1/1
Sunderland welcome Brentford in a match that could produce plenty of excitement. The home crowd will be right behind Sunderland as they look to pull off a big result, but Brentford have the experience and quality to make life difficult. Sunderland will need to be solid defensively and take their chances when they come, while Brentford will fancy their chances if they can make the most of their opportunities in front of goal.
Fulham 8/10 | Draw 26/10 | Crystal Palace 31/10
Fulham and Crystal Palace go head-to-head at Craven Cottage with a quarter-final spot up for grabs. Fulham will be confident playing in front of their home fans, while Palace will look to stay organised and hit on the counterattack. Both teams are capable of producing strong performances, so this could be a very close contest that may need extra time or even penalties to find a winner.
Bournemouth 14/10 | Draw 24/10 | Aston Villa 18/10
Bournemouth take on Aston Villa in what looks set to be an entertaining cup tie. Bournemouth will aim to carry their attacking form into this fixture, but Villa have the experience and firepower to match them. Both teams know how to create chances, which means the battle at the back could be crucial. If neither side can take control, this match could easily go the distance.
Liverpool 1/1 | Draw 28/10 | Chelsea 9/4
The standout fixture of the evening sees Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield. Both teams will view the EFL Cup as a great opportunity to lift silverware, adding extra importance to this clash. Liverpool will look to use the energy of their home crowd to their advantage, while Chelsea will try to expose any gaps and create chances on the break. With plenty of attacking talent on both sides, goals look likely, but Liverpool may have a slight edge playing at home.
