EFL Cup - Quarter-Final Draw

[StanSP]

On Saturday. Not at a Bowls club thankfully. On Soccer AM which isn't quite as bad

 

Arsenal 

Chelsea 

Sunderland

Tottenham Hotspur

Leicester City 

Liverpool

Brentford

West Ham United 

 

 

 

Obvious draw preference is Sunderland at home. 

[weller54]

Spuds v Sunderland is nailed on.

[Webbo]

I bet we get West Ham 

[Nod.E]

Every year the quarters come around early in the season and every year I can't believe it's already the quarters.

[whoareyaaa]

Sunderland or Brentford

 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

The likes of Liverpool and Chelsea will play much weakened teams in the next round - so if we want to we could roll over any of them.

[Brainy]

Avoid Sunderland at all costs

Now Man City are out we should have a pop at this competition. Not saying we should play our full 1st 11 but I'd prefer a stronger side than we had out tonight. Think we could beat anyone left in. West Ham and Chelsea will be toughest as west ham seem to field a pretty strong team and Chelsea have ridiculous squad depth. The Liverpool team tonight didn't seem very strong. 

[ceredigion]

We'll get Athletico Madrid again. Just you wait and see.

[RowlattsFox]

Quarter final is on a ridiculous date just before Christmas when we play Man city on boxing Day. Also means Everton is now Sunday 12pm.

[lcfcfoz]

Sunderland home please, then prepare for man city and Liverpool

Just the big boys plus Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Brentford and Sunderland left.

I know people knock this competition, but it's still hard to win when you look at the strength of that QF like up. 

 

It also gives teams their best chance to win a trophy who might not normally get the opportunity: like Brentford, West Ham or Spurs

Mad Martin would always go full on at this stage and prioritise the competition with full strength teams. However, a couple of extra places up the Premier League is worth a lot more (financially at least).

Yeh absolutely but silverware is silverware. Be good if we could give Justin a game depending on when the next round is/how close he is to a return

Bring on the Sunderland and Arsenal

Bring on the Scousers .... 

[North Leeds Fox]

Anyone at home. With man city out, this should be a cup we really go and target now. 

[TheStig]

Brentford again - a shithouse win and drive Thomas Frank up the wall

[Stevosevic]

I'd take Liverpool. 

 

Klopp really doesn't give a shit about this competition - look at the teams he puts out every year. 

 

Would love to play their 11 tonight. 

[marbles]

I just hope we get to beat up Chelsea in the finals again

You think Liverpool won't play a stronger side now they're in the quarter finals?

[coolhandfox]

Who are they going to fix Sunderland getting now Man City are out.

Probably not. Especially when the next round is. 

[Finnegan]

Nailed on WHU away 

[Suzie the Fox]

Looking at the choices i’m not too fussed, although Sunderland is obviously the easiest. 
 

Personally wouldn’t mind Spurs at home, as would make the win even better but it would be 10x worse if we lost.
