Dundee United vs Celtic

The Bhoys endure navigating through the most troubling opening chapter to Wilfried Nancy's reign, with the Celtic Park giants having suffered the ignominy of defeat in every one of their opening three encounters under their recently-appointed manager. The painful 3-1 defeat to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised a nadir that few connected with so grand an institution could have imagined.

The Frenchman enters the first manager in the institution's storied annals to falter across his opening three games in tenure, and one senses an urgent desire to reverse this concerning decline.

However, may be drawn from Dundee United's persistent difficulties. The home side have proved incapable to claim victory in any of their last seven matches, and despite Celtic's recent difficulties, the away side still boast greater quality. We are backing the green-and-white faithful to secure a crucial three points.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

Manchester City vs Brentford

Manchester City enter this EFL Cup quarter-final as significant choices to claim victory and advance into the subsequent phase of the competition. The Etihad outfit evidently boast more accomplished roster than their West London counterparts.

While Brentford have functioned above expectations under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this campaign, the Gtech Community Stadium outfit have now failed to win any of their most recent three games. Moreover, they have also been unable to secure victory from any of their most recent five fixtures with the Manchester outfit – featuring four defeats.

Given this context, we are endorsing Manchester City to record progression and qualify for the last four.

Manchester City to qualify, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is experiencing a stellar run of form for Fulham, with the Wales star netting four goals in his most recent seven outings for the Cottagers. He also secured a treble for his nation during the November FIFA window.

When considered against Newcastle's recent vulnerability, shipping at no fewer than a goal in each of their previous eight fixtures across all tournaments, we are endorsing Wilson to get on the score sheet once again in this encounter.

Wilson finds the net, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Madrid's Copa Dominance

Real Madrid enter this fixture with modest Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey knockout stages comprehensively expected to overwhelm the fixture and secure success by a comfortable scoreline.
