Competition: EFL Cup
Market: Everton win
Odds: 1/1 @ 1xBet
Looking to punch their EFL Cup quarter-final ticket on Wednesday night, Everton will welcome Burnley to Goodison Park.
Starting with the hosts, while Everton might still be dealing some public issues behind the scenes at Goodison Park, Sean Dyche’s side have certainly claimed a recent boost. Last seen over the weekend putting in another rugged performance as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Europa League outfit West Ham, the Toffees have skyrocketed themselves away from another potential relegation scrap. With Dyche looking to get one over on his former employers here, fans around the blue half of Merseyside should be smelling a golden chance on Wednesday night. Heading into October’s international break with a stellar 3-0 romp against Bournemouth, Everton have now on four of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Likewise, extending on their EFL Cup adventure on September 27th as they secured a shock 2-1 win away at a high-flying Aston Villa, the midweek hosts should find the mood in their camp at a recent high. With their recent turn in fortunes highlighted by a 3-1 victory away at Brentford last month, Dyche’s side should be confident of punching their quarter-final ticket.
As for the visitors, while Burnley might have gained a string of plaudits last season as they breezed their way to a Premier League return, Vincent Kompany’s side have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a costly 2-1 loss at the hands of fellow strugglers Bournemouth, the one-time Manchester City skipper could find some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Already battling it out in the bottom-three and tipped as a leading relegation contender this year, the Clarets have claimed just a single win from any of their first 10 Premier League appearances. Marking their return from October’s international break with a woeful display as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming against Brentford, Kompany’s side have now lost each of their previous three top-flight contests by an aggregate score of 9-2. Really gaining a reputation for their rather glaring defensive issues, Burnley should be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Two sides who find the moods in their respective camps at polar opposites, we are expecting a home victory on Wednesday night.
