Matches for the League Cup of England and the 4 teams from Italy...
Great matches for the League Cup of England tonight. It is worth remembering that the matches are one-offs and the interest is even greater. Of the six pairs on the night, the derbies between Newcastle and Chelsea and Tottenham and Manchester City dominate.
There is also action in the Campionato, as we have a rescheduled matchday with four interesting matches in which wehave favourites in all of them, which we will look at in more detail below.
Below you'll see all the match action in detail:
BRIGHTON-LIVERPOOL (21:30)
In the space of 24 hours these two teams will meet twice. First tonight for the League Cup England and next Saturday for the Premier League. The only difference is the league game will be played at Anfield. We don't know if they will make any changes and how many changes the two managers will make.
NEWCASTLE-CHELSEA (21:45).
They've had their say in the league and in a few nights they face each other for the league title as well. Both have strengthened significantly this season and both look better quality and better than last year. They want to progress to the League Cup but one team will go through to the next stage and it all comes down to tonight as we are talking about single games. Balanced odds set for both victory and qualification.
TOTTENHAM-MANCHESTER CITY (22:00)
Essentially the derby of the night and of this stage in the League Cup. Both teams have played a lot of back-to-back games in recent days both in the league and in Europe. Logically there will be a rotation by both coaches, but we don't know to what extent. Certainly the visitors have a bigger roster than the home team and that may play a role.
