How many times have we drawn the gooners in the cups over the last fifteen years?

If MB is taking the competition more seriously this year, we can win this time.

Arsenal away in next round. Will go to that with my youngest - who happens to be an Arsenal fan. This is the reality of now living in London. It was hard to sell the Bates era when he was a kid. Leeds are his second team apparently.

I still travel around the country to away matches on a fairly regular basis, when it suits my current location dictated by work.
Can’t miss this one but I will have to sit with the mutes.

I'm going to Carrow Road on the Sunday.

Due to business commitments it's impossible for me to do two long distances in the same week, so a fourth visit to the Emirates is a no no, it's a lovely stadium with excellent facilities.

Enjoy DDB :tup:

The leader in this league has a team that has 11 players from 11 different teams and that is the strategy I am going to apply

I reckon that the more teams that you have playing than the more points you might accrue.

The tendency is to choose as many players from teams that are near the top of the table in hope of making many points, but if they don't score then your points total will be low.

I'm looking to maximize the number of clubs that are in my team regardless of their position in the league

Pep Guardiola has his wish after the EFL confirmed five substitutions will be allowed for the remaining Carabao Cup games this season.

The Manchester City boss, who has been calling for five subs rule for several years, said it was "ridiculous" England is the only country that is still limited to three after his side thrashed Wycombe in one of the earlier rounds.

Fourteen of the 16 remaining clubs in the competition recently launched the proposal for the Carabao Cup, highlighting their concerns of the demanding fixture schedule to come over the coming months.

More opportunities for the likes of Gelhardt, Summerville, Cresswell, Greenwood, etc, hopefully.

Three games won on penalties, including Sunderland who are now the rank outsiders in this year's EFL Cup. Good luck to the Wearsiders.

One of the lesser lights of the PL Brentford also through to the quarter-finals. Pontus will be smiling this morning :)

Six of the top ten PL clubs through to the quarter-finals, with Chelsea & Leicester the favourites I assume.

Even though all the PL clubs field weakened teams, one of the top six generally win this tournament.

Semi chance wasted there by poor substitutions.

That wouldn't have been Sunderland had we won through... might have taken a couple of attempts but it would have been Chelsea or Liverpool
