There will be six Premier League clubs, one EFL Championship team, and one EFL League One team competing in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals this year. The defending champions, Manchester United, were knocked out of the Round of 16, so we will have new winners this season. The final will be played at Wembley Stadium on February 25, 2024.
The Carabao Cup quarterfinals draw was an interesting one, as the two non-Premier League teams, Port Vale and Middlesbrough, will face each other. Chelsea will face Newcastle in a tough matchup, while Everton will be up against Fulham, and the last matchup will be between Liverpool and West Ham. Manchester City were the favorites to win the EFL Cup at the start of the season, but they were knocked out early in the Round of 32.
Here are the odds for which club will win the Carabao Cup this season:
The best EFL Cup bookies have Liverpool as favorites to win the title. The Reds will face West Ham at Anfield in this round, so this is a big advantage for Liverpool, as they are unbeaten at home this season. Chelsea have been underwhelming this year, as they are 10th in the Premier League standings. The Blues have a tough matchup against Newcastle, but anything can happen.
Newcastle went all the way to the EFL Cup final last season, but they lost in the end to Man United. They will try to win the title this time, but they will have to surpass Chelsea first in the Round of 16.
Everton knocked out Aston Villa early in the tournament in a big surprise, and they have a favorable matchup here, so they are expected to go to the semifinals at least. West Ham have knocked out Arsenal in the last round, but it will be hard for them to beat Liverpool at Anfield, so their winning chances aren’t that high.
