Fleetwood Town vs Arsenal

Premier League champions Arsenal have been given a kind draw in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, with Mikel Arteta's men heading to Highbury Stadium to take on stuttering League Two side Fleetwood Town, and we can only see one winner.

Even if the Gunners rotate as heavily as we expect them to, the Cod Army will be facing a team full of elite-level talent on Tuesday night, and with Matt Lawlor's side also only winning two of their last nine in all competitions, it's little wonder the hosts' odds of causing an upset currently sit at 22/1.

Arsenal reached the final of this competition last season, ultimately losing to Man City, but on the hunt for more silverware, the Carabao Cup outright favourites shouldn't have much trouble cruising through here.

Manchester City vs Brighton

Just four days before meeting in the Premier League, Man City and Brighton go head-to-head for a place in the Carabao Cup last eight, and as two of the country's most in-form teams meet at the Etihad, we're tipping the game to end all square after 90 minutes.

City lost their perfect league record on Saturday as they fell at Villa Park for the fourth year in a row, while Brighton were also beaten for the first time since August as they lost at Anfield - so both teams will be looking for a big reaction here.

Holders City made relatively light work of the competition last season, as they have done so often in the last decade, while Brighton are looking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in almost 50 years - and they'll give themselves an excellent chance here, taking their hosts to a penalty shootout.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa

In another clash between two of the Premier League's hottest sides, Marco Rose's rejuvenated Bournemouth take on Aston Villa in a blockbuster fourth-round clash, and with the form guide struggling to split the sides, we're predicting a draw at the Vitality Stadium.

The Cherries have won each of their last four in all competitions, scoring 11 without reply across the Europa League and Premier League, while Villa have bagged 12 in the same time - including an emphatic 6-0 Champions League win over Fenerbahce - so we're going to see two purring attacks on the south coast.

The visitors don't have a great record in the Carabao Cup, with this already the furthest they've been since 2020, while Bournemouth are after their first quarter-final appearance since 2018/19, so with all the trends looking so even, we're anticipating this one going all the way to penalties.

Liverpool vs Chelsea

Rounding off our Carabao Cup accumulator is arguably the tie of the round, with Xabi Alonso returning to Anfield as Chelsea boss for the first time - but we're predicting an unhappy homecoming for the Spaniard.

Chelsea's defeat at home to Spurs on Saturday evening was a brutal bump in the road, with the Blues losing at Stamford Bridge for the first time since May, and without suspended star man Cole Palmer - who scored a brace off the bench in Round Three - we think the Londoners will struggle to impose themselves on Liverpool here.

The hosts are enjoying a really solid start to the campaign, with their win over Brighton on Sunday making it eight wins from their last 10 in all competitions, and as one domestic defeat at Anfield since February will attest, they're very rarely bested at home - so Liverpool to progress inside 90 minutes is our fourth and final selection.
