EPL Giants Chelsea, Liverpool Stay on Course In English League Cup

It can be very frustrating being a Gunner when it comes to the Premier League. “When you lose a game it’s always disappointing, but we’ve got to look forward to Bournemouth and get on with it”.

The footballing Gods were so enamoured by the first Manchester Derby with Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola at the helm, that they made a decision to add one more of this marquee clash to the calendar. But I think anyone we draw now is going to be hard. We didn’t have to wait long to find out our fates.

“I’m focusing on playing well and when I have the chance I’ll show what I can do, because I know what I can do and it’s a lot for this team”, Fabregas told the British media.

With the final games of the EFL Cup Third Round taking place tonight, that means one thing – it’s time for the Fourth-Round draw! It’s hard to argue with their logic as all three clubs have hired new managers, Pep Guardiola at City and Jose Mourinho at United are arguably the two best managers in the world right now, and proven winners everywhere they’ve been. With the game looking likely to head into extra time, Dimitri Payet scored a trademark free-kick to spare the Hammers’ blushes at the London Stadium and send his side safely through.

This bit really is just as much fun as the games, if not more so, isn’t it?

What happened in the fourth round a year ago?

After a ideal pre-season our opening fixture against Liverpool left a little to be desired.

Leicester and Chelsea were drawing 2-2 going into extra time in the standout match of the last 32. The team’s last piece of major silverware came in 1995.

Everton were dumped out of the League Cup by second-tier Norwich City on Tuesday as the Premier League club’s former striker Steven Naismith returned to torment his old employers with the first goal in a 2-0 third-round victory.

They started well as Marko Arnautovic opened the scoring midway through the first half, but Ryan Mason responded for the Tigers on the stroke of half-time and Markus Henriksen sealed a dramatic comeback win at the death.
