Football Tips: 10/1 Accumulator Tip for the Carabao Cup 24/09/2025

The Carabao cup action concludes on Wednesday (24/09/2025), and tonight's action sees admittedly one-sided fixtures involving Premier League sides. However, with the lack of viable upsets last night, this could be the night where shocks happen, similar to Grimsby Town knocking out Manchester United in the previous round.

Tonight's games feature the cup holders, Newcastle United, in action as they begin their trophy defence at home to a Bradford side that has been excellent in League One following their promotion last season.

Arsenal are also in action, as they look to end their trophy drought under Mikel Arteta this season. Meanwhile, Manchester City have an affinity with this competition, and they begin their quest for a 9th triumph and their first since 2021.

Tottenham Hotspur will be under no pressure to break their trophy drought, following their European success against Manchester United back in May. However, the North London club could be seeking to end their drought in this competition, which dates back to 2008.

The success in 2008 came at the expense of fellow London rivals, Chelsea, as Jonathan Woodgate scored in extra time to secure the trophy under then-manager Juande Ramos. Tottenham's record in this competition is relatively strong, reaching three finals since 2008 (2009,2015 & 2021), but success in this year's competition will be a great start for Thomas Frank's potential dynasty with the club.

This season, Frank has had a solid start to life as Tottenham Hotspur manager, as they have accumulated 10 points from their first five league games. Tottenham Hotspur have been awarded a relatively straightforward tie against League One side Doncaster Rovers, and for this game, we are tipping Spurs to seal their place in the fourth round with goals aplenty.

Tottenham are coming into this game with no losses in their last three matches and having scored first in five of their previous seven games. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the last five matches involving Doncaster Rovers.

Tip: Tottenham to win & Over 2.5 Goals

Current holders, Newcastle United, have made an indifferent start to their league campaign, with only one win so far this season, and to provide context, that came against the worst-performing side in the division, Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The continuous transfer saga surrounding former striker Alexander Isak has left the Magpies without a focal point in the attacking areas, which could explain their lacklustre displays thus far. However, this competition provided the Magpies with their moment of success last season, as Eddie Howe's side ended the 70-year trophy drought at St.James' Park with a 2-1 win against Liverpool.

This competition usually provides fringe players with opportunities to shine and stake their place in the team, and this game could benefit someone of Joe Willock's capable ability. Joe Willock featured in this competition for the Magpies last season, scoring once.

Tip: Joe Willock to score

Huddersfield Town will be up against it in this fixture, as they host one of the most successful teams in modern history in this competition, Manchester City.

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant has made a good start to his professional managerial career, as his Huddersfield Town side are in the top five spots in League One having accumulated 16 points from nine league games.

However, with the riches of options Pep Guardiola has at his disposal, even with a rotated side, we can see Manchester City securing their spot in the next round.

Huddersfield Town come into this game having only won twice in their last five matches in all competitions. Despite missing out on a win against Arsenal, Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten in their last three matches, scoring first in nine of their last 10 games. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the last five matches involving Huddersfield.

Tip: Manchester City to win & Over 2.5

Darren Moore's side face Premier League giants Arsenal in the third round of this competition, with Mikel Arteta set to ring the changes ahead of the trip to Vale Park.

While it may not be high on the priority list of Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal fanbase this season, the Carabao Cup represents an opportunity to shift the perverbial tagline of 'nearly men' and to finally claim their first trophy success since 2020, when Mikel Arteta was still effectively using Unai Emery's side in the FA Cup.

We still expect to reach the fourth round, even with the reported changes.

Port Vale are struggling in League One as the home side is 19th, and the third round tie against Arsenal is likely to be the end for Darren Moore's side. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last three games and have scored first in five of their last seven matches.

Tip: Arsenal to win
