Liverpool 4/5

Liverpool had a disappointing season last season; they entered the season as EFL Cup and FA Cup champions but were disappointingly dumped out of the League Cup by Man City at the Fourth-round stage 3-2. However this season has been far more positive which has now seen the club still in the silverware conversations for all four competitions they’re currently in

Carabao Cup Results 2023/24

Their run was as follows:

Third Round – Liverpool 3-1 Leicester City

Fourth Round – Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool

Quarter Final – Liverpool 5-1 West Ham

Semi Final First Leg –  Liverpool vs Fulham

Semi Final Second Leg – Fulham vs Liverpool

Chances?

Liverpool are currently the form team in England at the moment, thus justifying their status as 4/5 favourites to land the EFL Cup.

Liverpool opened their 23/24 EFL Cup campaign with a brilliant 3-1 comeback victory over Championship league leaders Leicester. They then overcame a tough away trip to Bournemouth 1-2 before announcing themselves as tournament favourites with a ruthless 5-1 victory over West Ham.

Despite being handed an all-Premier League tie against Fulham,  their attacking talent should be far too good to be troubled by Fulham

Chelsea 13/8

Chelsea had a horrible 22/23 season having finished 12^th which was their first time in the bottom half of the table since the 95/96 season when they were managed by Glenn Hoddle. That dismal season was no surprise given that the club was in a constant state of turmoil having gone through so many managers. That form hasn’t come in the league yet, but they still have a strong silverware chance in this competition.

EFL Cup Results 2023/24

Second Round – Chelsea 2-1 AFC Wimbledon

Third Round – Chelsea 1-0 Brighton

Fourth Round – Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn Rovers

Quarter Final – Chelsea 1 -1 (4-2 penalties) Newcastle

Semi Final First Leg –  Middlesbrough vs Chelsea

Semi Final Second Leg – Chelsea vs Middlesbrough

Chances?

Chelsea despite their ropey league form, have shown the grit and winning resilience throughout this competition and this could be their exact opportunity at 13/8 find that winning form.

Due to their lack of European Exploits, Chelsea commenced the competition in the Second Round where they overcame AFC Wimbledon 2-1 before beating Brighton 1-0 in the Third Round. Chelsea then defeated Blackburn 2-0 and most recently overcoming Newcastle on penalties to reach this Semi-Final.

Chelsea have been drawn against Championship side Middlesbrough and look well placed to reach the final.

Fulham 7/1

Fulham are also in strong form winning their last two games in all competitions 2-1 against Arsenal in the Premier League and 1-0 against Rotherham in the FA Cup 3^rd Round. Marcos Silva has this Fulham side purring safe in the league and doing well in the cup.

EFL Cup Results 2023/24

Second Round – Fulham 1-1 (5-3 penalties) Tottenham

Third Round – Fulham  2-1 Norwich

Fourth Round – Ipswich Town 1-3 Fulham

Quarter Final – Everton 1 -1 (6-7 penalties) Fulham

Semi Final First Leg –  Liverpool vs Fulham

Semi Final Second Leg – Fulham vs Liverpool

Chances?

This Fulham side managed by Marcos Silva has surpassed expectations to reach this stage already. However, the grit and resilience they’ve shown especially when it comes to spot kicks shows they remain a tricky tie for anyone.

They claimed their first shock of the tournament with a 5-3 penalty victory over Tottenham before beating Championship sides Norwich and Ipswich. They overcame another Merseyside side in Everton in the last round and if they repeat that success again they will be in the final.

This is a free-hit for Fulham with everything to gain and nothing to lose, which could make for an explosive cup encounter.

Middlesbrough 16/1

Middlesbrough narrowly missed out on promotion last season and have continued that form into this season, making this Semi-Final  Despite being 12th in the league, the tightness of their league mean they’re only 4 points off the playoff places.

EFL Cup Results 2023/24

Second Round – Huddersfield 2-3 Middlesbrough

Third Round – Bolton 1-3  Middlesbrough

Fourth Round – Bradford 0-2 Middlesbrough

Quarter Final – Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough

Semi Final First Leg –  Middlesbrough vs Chelsea

Semi Final Second Leg – Chelsea vs Middlesbrough

Chances?

The sole Championship side left in the competition who can be proud of their efforts reaching this stage. While, they have been fortunate with their draws, they’ve done what they had to beating each team they’ve drawn so far all away from home.

Competition entertainers started their run with a thriller beating Huddersfield 2-3 before beating Bolton 1-3. They then defeated Bradford 0-2 and had another entertaining 2-3 victory against Exeter. They booked their place at this stage with a 0-3 win against Port Vale.

Chelsea will be favourites and worthy at that, but part of me thinks Middlesbrough are far more likely to cause a shock in the Semi-Final than Fulham are.
