Our 73/1 League Cup Goal Handicap Acca - 23/8/22

On Tuesday night, Championship outfit Burnley travels to Shrewsbury Town where Vincent Kompany will be determined to see his side bounce back from their 3-3 home draw with Blackpool at the weekend.

These two sides met in pre-season at Montgomery Meadows Water, with the Clarets running out as 3-1 winners via goals from Samuel Bastien, Jai Tucker and Bobby Thomas.

With a stronger line-up expected in this game than in pre-season, as well as in reaction to the weekend, we expect Burnley to beat the Shrews by more than a one-goal margin - especially with Steve Cotterill's men sitting 18th in League One.

Bolton Wanderers against Aston Villa could be make or break for Steven Gerrard, with speculation already mounting on the Villa boss after two defeats in their opening three Premier League matches.

There is the expectation that Villa could put out a strong line-up due to the pressure on Gerrard to ease their woes. On top of this, they face a Trotters side that were beaten 2-0 at home by Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend.

Southampton managed a confidence-boosting 2-1 victory at the King Power Stadium on Saturday against Leicester City thanks to a superb brace by Che Adams.

This means that the Saints have scored two goals in back-to-back matches following goals from Joe Aribo and Kyle Walker-Peters in a 2-2 draw with Leeds United at St Mary’s in their second Premier League game of the season.

On the other hand, Cambridge are 11th in League One, but, have won neither of their last two matches, drawing 1-1 with Charlton Athletic after a heavy 4-1 loss to Portsmouth.

Fleetwood Town and Everton face off in this competition for the first time since September 2020 where the Toffees emerged as 5-2 victors against the Cod Army at Highbury.

Town, who are currently managed by ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown are 14th in League One and haven’t won since their last EFL Cup tie against Wigan Athletic, following 0-0 stalemates with Cheltenham and Derby County on either side of a 1-1 draw with Morecambe.

Frank Lampard will be desperate for his side to grab their first win of the season following their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park. The Toffees should come into this game looking to build on Saturday’s performance that saw them rack up 19 shots.

Under-pressure Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that his side can avoid a shock defeat to League Two outfit Stockport County on Tuesday.

The Hatters have lost both of their last two League Two matches via 2-1 scorelines to Mansfield Town and Doncaster Rovers - seeing them sit a lowly 21st in the standings.

Leicester are yet to win a match this campaign, having blown a 2-0 lead over Brentford on the opening weekend of the season as they went on to draw 2-2. Since then, the Foxes have been beaten 4-2 by Arsenal, as well as 2-1 by Southampton.
