There's not been any cupsets yet as regards to the Prem sides. Statistically speaking, we're going to be up against a Prem side next round. Let's hope it's going to be Coventry (if they win tonight) instead of a Chelsea or Arsenal.

Palace at home would be a decent draw, their Europa League campaign will be underway & hopefully no more goals off their left-back's shin?

Palace at home.... Could have been a lot worse..

Liverpool or Chelsea will be gone, and Bradford v Peterborough is a tempting draw for the next round.
Title: Re: Carabao Cup Fourth Round

There will only be 11 of them, same number as us.

Perfectly happy with them

They got very lucky against us and we didnt have our new starting CB and DM in yet

Looking forward to knocking em out
Title: Re: Carabao Cup Fourth Round
Post by: Deeping_white on September 16, 2026, 10:38:41 PM
Should've beaten them before, we will have a better starting XI that is more cohesive and they have huge fixture congestion with the europa league so very likely we're playing a heavily rotated XI while we should be able to put out our first XI
Title: Re: Carabao Cup Fourth Round
Post by: demeant0r on September 16, 2026, 10:38:46 PM
We really have to field as close to our best starting XI against this lot as possible, the LC is probably the best way we can get into Europe this season
Title: Re: Carabao Cup Fourth Round

Much prefer playing Palace rather than Chelsea. Save them for the final.

This is a very good draw. As long as Affengruber plays instead of the donkey we'll have too much for them.

It's time to get some revenge on Palace. Yes, it would have been great to get Bradford or Petreborough, but I still think we could beat Palace, especially if we play like we did against Liverpool. Field pretty much our strongest team and don't play with only two CBs spread out as wide as the pitch. 

Up the Fulham  ::scarf::

Favourable draw for Arsenal against Fleetwood, although they don't often play against teams playing in a home strip identical to their own.

If we can't beat Palace then we were never going to win it. I would take anyone at home bar Arsenal and Man City if we get through.

Or Fleetwood if they bin Arsenal!

If Sarr and Mateta are back for CP the task gets harder.

Had a look on a Palace forum, understandably, they are seriously concerned about their creaking defence.

Another tough away EL fixture tonight, injuries mounting, someone suggested the League Cup is of no important & they'll field their reserves.

Still dreaming of a home win against them.

We have a great opportunity to turn them over, and proceed into the quarter finals.
History and recent results count for nothing, it's what happens on the day.

The next game is the most important, otherwise there is no point in entering the competition.
It's a one off, there is no second chance.
Whereas we have the whole season to ensure we stay up.
If we still get relegated it is because we are not good enough.
The League table does not lie, with the exception of someone called Manchester City.
