EFL Cup 2024/25 Winner Predictions, Betting Odds, and Picks

The Carabao Cup has reached the fourth round, with the top teams from the Premier League and Championship looking fiercely to win the domestic cup. The reigning champions of the Carabao Cup, Liverpool, will continue their hope of defending the title, but they must get through Brighton to make it to the tournament's quarterfinal. Ahead of the Carabao Cup final in Wembley Stadium, let's look at the latest betting odds for the EFL Cup, with Manchester City as favourites.

Despite their recent performance, bookmakers have considered Manchester City the favourite to win this year's Carabao Cup tournament. The Citizens dominated the trophy in recent years by winning the Cup for a joint record of four times under the great management of Spanish tactician Pep Guardiola. However, Manchester City's recent performance in the Cup had ended in a bit of disappointment, having failed to qualify for the final in each of the last three editions of the tournament. They have already found their spot in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, but a trip to London to face Tottenham could potentially be a big test.

Arsenal are the second favourite to lift the 2024/25 EFL Cup, but their recent performance in the tournament has made it seem like a difficult task ahead of them. The Gunners have endured a poor recent record in the competition, reaching just one final in 13 years, and the last time they won the cup was in 1993. The Gunners suffered an early knockout of the Carabao Cup last season as they were beaten by West Ham United in the fourth round by a 3-1 scoreline at the London Stadium. This season, Arsenal will face Preston away from their home soil, but recent injuries in the new campaign could have a big impact on their road to Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool are the reigning EFL Cup champions after beating Chelsea 1-0 in the final of the 2023-24 edition at the Wembley Stadium in London. They have looked like a strong force to reckon with under the management of Dutch manager Arne Slot, and the manager will be targeting a trophy in his first season in charge of Liverpool. Liverpool are the most successful side in the competition’s history with ten titles, two clear of the favourites Manchester City. They recently faced a tough test in their round three but came up with a flawless 5-1 win over West Ham at Anfield Stadium. Nonetheless, after carefully analyzing the top three favourites for the Carabao Cup, we have predicted Liverpool to win. Liverpool have looked extremely good under the new manager, Arne Slot, who has guided his side to 11 wins from their 13 matches played so far in all competitions.
