Next up for the EFL Cup quarter-finals, Wednesday saw a couple of disappointing wins. Newcastle United had been able to make time for Chelsea, Aston Villa lost to Crystal Palance and Tottenham defeated Manchester Town. Jhon Durán’s scoring streak for Villa wasn’t enough to book Villa, but it was an exciting round of 16. Months as teams like Manchester Town are currently out, Liverpool still have a chance to progress consecutively. The next time it becomes profitable will be the 2024 version.

Tottenham remains disappointed
The biggest result came from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Tottenham’s victory over Manchester Town included some ups and downs in the first half with goals from Timo Werner, Pape Sarr and Matheus Nunes. But accidents also reared their heads. Mikey Van De Ven left the game with a trauma for Tottenham and Savinho was also stretchered off to Manchester Town after a corner kick. With the Brazilian closing in, it is a little far for Town’s attack, but this result is historic for Ange Postecoglou. He has talked about how he is winning trophies in his second season with golf clubs and with just a few more wins, he can do it for Tottenham.
Start the post-Erik ten Hag being ethical
Facing Leicester Town, things couldn’t have been much less for Manchester United. Led by halftime coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy, they exploded in the first half with four goals against a circular team, winning 5-2. Leicester need to focus on staying out of the Premier League drop zone, so it was a chance for the Red Devils to make a big play and they did just that. Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes each scored doubles at the right time. Alejandro Garnacho completed the scoring. Before facing Chelsea over the weekend, this was just what United needed.
Regardless of who the Red Devils executive is, if the players are confident, they can rate anyone. They wouldn’t have liked to have allowed Leicester to score twice, but it’s a little easier to deal with after scoring five in the game. This is the type of accident that could cause variety problems over the weekend.
Jhon Durán ratings but surely it was not enough
Then, a gift from Crystal Palace goalkeeper and US men’s team start Matt Turner allowed Jhon Durán to score his eighth goal in all competitions and second in his last three appearances for Aston Villa, the Eagles were able to clear home. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in less than 10 minutes, but had to retire shortly after due to a thigh injury. Daichi Kamada came to replace him and also set up the eventual lucrative goal of adaptation for Palace.
It’s been a slow start to the season for Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner, but after this win, they have strung together back-to-back wins and then defeated Tottenham in their last game. If they can make it three in a row against Wolves, they will go a long way towards guaranteeing Premier League coverage.
Cody Gakpo requires more participation in the event
Although you are in a team that appears in addition to Arne Slot’s Reds, making changes to the XI can also be complicated, but after a double in cup matches, Cody Gakpo is doing everything he can to push for more minutes in the wing . With Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah on track, the rotation may be eager to get ahead, but as Liverpool continue into more competitions, intensity will be needed. Gakpo now has four goals and two assists in all competitions in just over 500 minutes played with back-to-back braces in EFL Cup matches.
