FA Cup and EFL Cup Prediction Thread

[3 angle]

[...]  It's only a single match and if Liverpool will win then they will face Chelsea at the next stage, I hope Chelsea will show a different level football and the blues will be the winner against Liverpool? if Chelsea will beat Liverpool then it will not be a surprising issue because, in this FA Cup, Chelsea's record is nearly better than Liverpool so I want to see Chelsea in the Final.

Forget that record, let's look at the performance of both teams this season, so far Liverpool is very superior. At the last meeting of the two teams, Liverpool was able to conquer Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. But in football everything can happen, Chelsea could have beaten Liverpool because Liverpool also often play their reserve players in the FA Cup.

I think united played well tonight and kept city men at bay for while

What do you u think about city??
Is it a confidence crisis or loss of form; they lost so many easy chances

Man.United clearly played ambitiously, in contrast to Man.City, I think Man.City was a bit off guard in the match, even though they were dominant throughout the match but they failed to convert their chances into goals. Luckily Man.united lost the scorer in the match (Matic) due to a red card, if not I think Man.United can score 1 more goal.

Incredible performance from Manchester United and this shows everyone in the whole league that Manchester City has a really bad defence and when their offence is having an off day like last night, surely any team can beat them.

3 angle: upholstery players first time I heard this term hehe

I believe that City didn't try enough in this game as they have the safety of 3-1 from the first match.
It was normal that United is going to try their best in order to score at least 2 goals and qualify to the next round. I wouldn't judge the performance of both teams from this game, but from the first one.

LOL, that's a term that I (my group) use for reserve players. I forgot this is a public conversation. I will change it.

I am disappointed with Manchester City as it was the only game that ruined my parlay of yesterday.I thought they will concentrate in the FA cup now that they are out of the fight for the Premier League title but it looks like they are not giving a damn for FA.

Manchester United indeed played very well and what I really liked was Ole swearing at Lingard, and then substituting him which shows that he’s fast loosing patience with Lingard. @3 angle the red card was a horrible decision, and I don’t know what was the referee thinking when he gave it to Matic and even Ole wasn’t happy about it.

The defeat still puts Manchester City in the final because it wins aggregate, that's the risk of playing parlay and we have to realize it because every team will not always play with the same strategy in every different tournament. However, I'm sure Manchester City will get titles in both tournaments.

Sorry mate, I kind of saw that kind of result coming... Knowing that they were already leading by a 2 goal difference from First leg, it's definitely human that they would relax.

FA will also be tricky... because they have thoughts on Champions League too.

Yes, I agree with you, that is indeed a violation, but the referee should not have to give a second yellow card which then becomes a red card to Matic.

Apparently, as they had won 3-1 in the first game they didn't put a lot of effort in the second match.
I think it was smarter to bet for United in this game as it was clear that they will try their best to get this win.

The Carabao cup final takes place this evening, and it's Manchester City Vs Aston Villa in this one, I am sure the English fa would have wanted a bigger encounter in this final for better marketing, but Villa deserve credit for getting here and they will have a shot at the title this evening.

Who's going with an upset today? After Liverpool were thrashed 3 nil yesterday, anything is possible right. I am not giving Villa any chance though, Clean victory for city imo, their first trophy this season and their their third Carabao cup on the spin.

It was a well deserved victory for Manchester city as they win their third consecutive carabao trophy under pep.
An equally fighting performance from Aston villa too, with Bravo last gasps save ensuring that City won the trophy without a shootout.

Manchester city mind will now be set to the champions league while villa continues their relegation battle

[swogerino]

I see an easy win for Arsenal tonight against Portsmouth although I think that Arsenal should never under estimate any team in this phase of the cup.It may prove really bad if Arsenal just takes the game easy and in the end they risk to be eliminated from the cup.I am hopeful Arsenal will win tonight and bring me another winning ticket.

@ampere Manchester City played really well and I believe that they’re rejuvenated because of their champions league ban, also I’m disappointed as Aston Villa didn’t win as I genuinely believed that they would cause an upset by beating City.

@swogerino I would advise you against wagering on Arsenal matches as they’re not performing consistently under their new coach, hence I’m not sure if they’ll win tonight or choke and loose the match.

[Naida_BR]

Totally agree about arsenal.
They are pretty unstable during this season and it is better to bet against them.
It is a greater value for money to gamble on Portsmouth win with @6.00 odds.

[JeromeTash]

Torreira stretched off the pitch in the 12 minute after a challenge from Portsmouth player Bolton. The Injury seems to be very serious and from the look of things he might be side lined yet again for a long period.
Dani Ceballos in to replace him. Let's see how it goes.

[ampere]

It is looking more like an easy straightforward win for arsenal tonight.
Arsenal are 2goals up against portsmouth.

Nketiah and sokratis with the goals.

[bassbity]

Chelsea vs Liverpool tonight in the FA Cup will win Chelsea this match because Liverpool don't really expect this cup so Klop said Chelsea will easily win in this match, I think in every competition it's important so pursue this FA trophy to increase the confidence of the players .
I need to watch this match.
