Football Accumulator Tips: 14/1 Accumulator for EFL Cup 27/08/2025

Wednesday's EFL Cup action, sees the conclusion of the second round of this competition, as Premier League sides look to stake their claim to the coveted prize in the early rounds.

Manchester United face unfamiliar territory, as their disastrous league campaign, has led the Red Devils to face the second round of this competition, for the first time sine the 2014/15 season. Famously, the last time Manchester United were in this round of the competition, they were succumbed to an embarrassing 4-0 defeat at the hands of MK Dons under Louis van Gaal.

For Ruben Amorim, arguably this is a lose-lose situation for the former Sporting Lisbon manager, as a win against Grimsby Town is expected but a defeat could be catastrophic for his tenure into his first full season at Old Trafford.

Everton, Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion are also in action as they face Mansfield Town, Bristol City and Oxford United, respectively.

We have picked out a value 14/1 accumulator tip (odds may vary) ahead of the four games on Wednesday night.

Despite not winning in their opening two matches, this will be seen as a perfect opportunity for Brighton to kickstart their season. The home side are coming into this game, with three consecutive defeats in the league, facing a Brighton side who have scored first in five of their last six.

Tip: Brighton to win

Everton will be full of confidence following their victory against Brighton at the weekend, and with a small squad available, there should be hardly any rotation for David Moyes' side. The Toffees have not lost to lower league opposition at home in this competition since 1999.

Tip: Everton to win

Fulham are unbeaten in their last five matches, following their draw against Manchester United and are also unbeaten in the last four meetings between the two sides. Both teams have scored in five of the last six meetings between the two sides. Both teams have also scored in four of the last five matches involving Fulham.

Tip: Fulham to win & BTTS (YES)

Manchester United's sufficient squad quality should see them over the line against Grimsby Town, despite the Mariners' strong start to the season. United are still suspect defensively, with no clean sheets in six matches and the BTTS market landing in five of the last six involving the Red Devils, regardless of opposition.
