League Cup Football Predictions 17th-18th December 2013

It's the quarter finals of the league cup and a chance to get one step closer to the first silverware of the season.

Chelsea travel to Sunderland who haven't won in five matches whilst Chelsea come off the back of a win against Palace at the weekend.  Although Chelsea seem to be convincing favourites, I guess it all hinges on what teams they both put out.  Sunderland are in a relegation fight whilst Chelsea are chasing a Premier League title.  Pretty sure there'll be some changes to the weekend's games, but how many?  The last non-Premier League team, Leicester, are flying high in the Championship but a bit out for form.  They face a rampant Manchester City who stuck six past Arsenal but their away form have been a bit indifferent.  Although City will probably rest a few players they've got a strong squad which will be too strong for the Leicester side.  Away win.

Spurs face West Ham on Wednesday but the last time these two teams faced each other at the Lane West Ham put three unanswered goals past Spurs.  Also, with Tottenham conceding five goals at the weekend and the manager getting the boot, who knows what Spurs side will turn out.  This one is a bit of a lottery but the Predictor fancies a marginal home win.  Lastly, United travel to Stoke.  Stoke are mid table - not really caught up in a relegation battle just yet, but not pushing for the European places.  United meanwhile need to ensure their Premier League form gets back on track and may rest a few players.  However, I think they'll still be too strong for Stoke and an away win is predicted.
