Carabao Cup Semi Final First Leg at Anfield
TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football
Liverpool (-1)
Under the floodlights at Anfield this Wednesday we’re going to see the first leg Carabao Cup matchup between Liverpool and Fulham with both teams dreaming of a trip to Wembley. It’ll be familiar ground for Liverpool who won this trophy back in 2022, while this semi-final gives Fulham a chance to reach their first EFL League Cup final ever.
It’s been a good season for both teams domestically. Liverpool come into this one top of the Premier League having lost just one game in the league all season and with eyes on another title.
Meanwhile Fulham sit 13th positions below them in the Premier League table but that’s not a bad place to be when you consider they lost their talismanic striker Alexsandar Mitrovic this summer. The question is how will we bet this Carabao Cup semi-final.
I’d love to bet Liverpool to Win but they’re just so short. Instead we’re taking a slightly sideways move and backing Liverpool (-1) in the handicaps meaning that the Redmen need to win by two or more goals.
This Liverpool team have been brilliant this season. They’ve lost just one game all year in the Premier League and in their 20 league games they’ve scored 43 goals, tied for the second most in the entire league and given up just 18 goals, which is the best defensive record by a large margin. They’re tough to score against and have the ability to rack up big scorelines thanks to their great attack.
Luis Diaz to Have 1 Or More Shots On Target
They’re missing their best player in Mohamed Salah but the reality is that despite the Egyptian being a big loss, they have more than enough quality in attacking positions to score without him.
They have Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo with all four men capable of causing Fulham problems, especially with two central defenders in Tim Ream and Calvin Bassey both missing due to injury and international commitments respectively. At the biggest price, thought still short, I’ll have Diaz to Have 1 Or More Shots On Target.

Joao Palhinha To Be Shown A Card
Next we’re going to back Fulham’s Portuguese midfielder Joao Palhinha to get booked. He hasn’t picked up a card in his three Carabao Cup appearances yet but it’s surely a matter of time.
In 17 Premier League games he’s already had eight yellow cards. He’s a great player but he does get booked too often and in a tough midfield battle against a great Liverpool team he should have issues.
Half Time: Liverpool
We’re also going to be backing Liverpool to be winning at halftime. This is a Liverpool team with really quality who should be able to push on early and take a lead into the break, such is the quality on their roster.
Over 2.5 Goals
Paddy thinks we’ll see plenty of goals at Anfield on Wednesday and with good reason. Fulham give up too many goals and Liverpool are great at scoring them.
We’ve seen 60% of Fulham’s road games in the Premier League have Over 2.5 Goals including each of their past four away from Craven Cottage. Not only that but 70% of Liverpool’s league matches at Anfield have hit that number too. I’d lean towards the Overs here.
