Win EFL Cup Quarter Final: Arsenal 5 - 1 Sunderland | Tuesday 21st, December | KO: 7:45 GMT |

Should be a great match to bring in some of the fringe players who've had limited minutes this season due to our lack of European football.

Might see the likes of Kola, Chambers, Balogun and @American_Gooner 's boys Cedric and Mari.
AMN and ESR likely to start too due to their minimal involvement in recent games for us.

Prediction
Arsenal 4-0 Arsenal

They're a terrible team. Should put 4 past them and get a clean sheet at minimum.

It's going to happen isn't it. We're gonna beat Liverpool and face Tottenham in the final.

Principled stance from Klopp even though it puts him at a disadvantage

 

[Macho]

Yeah single elim - penalties if needed at a neutral ground is just common sense at this point. Asking a lot from the guys in charge though.

What’s actually the point of domestic cups, every year it’s the big clubs, Chelsea, pPool, Arsenal and sp*rs in the semis, kinda boring

Leicester won the FA Cup last year.

Try telling that to Wigan. Or the likes of Millwall, Portsmouth, Soton who all enjoyed good cup runs.

Not forgetting Birmingham who embarrassed us in the final.

I’ve never heard of those clubs, but if you point me in their direction I’ll tell them.

The EFL can **** off then...don't whine when we play the U16 next time.

Klopp will be raging now

Anyways something has to change. It's efl's competition. So just remove epl clubs or at least clubs in Europe. If the regular top 6 get top 6 + 7th is Leicester or Everton or west ham, then you still have decent teams left in the tournament.

Why does something have to change? The top clubs can play their kids, even if it’s a 16 year old.

We should do a pact with Liverpool to play the youth teams and then put our first XI on for the second game.

I think Arteta will play full strength teams now, this is very close to a cup final now.

Yes but if Liverpool play anything remotely full strength too we're dead in the water.

Then what's the point of even playing? 16 year olds also have some trophy which they compete with lower club seniors. This will be a duplicate of that.

I love pretty much all trophies, I simp for the English Super Cup daily on here!

But my God, the League Cup is just so ****ing annoying.

All it really does, is take some shine away from the significantly better FA Cup...the final happens in the middle of the season, which makes it quite forgettable...and the 2 legged semis (during a period in the season, that already has a **** ton of games being played) can well and truly **** off.

Want to win it, but definitely at the bottom of my Christmas trophy list .
