Mikel Arteta has used no fewer than 21 players in Arsenal's three Carabao Cup matches already this season so it's anyone's guess what his starting XI will be against Sunderland tonight.

The Spaniard's squad rotation hasn't done them any harm though with three comfortable wins to nil setting them up for tonight's quarter final tie.

You have to go back to 1993 for the last time the Gunners lifted the trophy but they're just two wins from another Wembley appearance so Arteta shouldn't be taking too many chances despite their opponents being two divisions below them.

Sunderland are locked in a battle to gain promotion out of League One and that, is of course, their priority so tonight is a bit of a free hit for them. Former Ross County striker Ross Stewart will be the main danger for Arsenal, the “Loch Ness Drogba” has been on target 11 times for the Black Cats in League One.

But the Gunners have hit 11 without reply and another win to nil pays 4/5, which is significantly better than the 1/6 on the ouright market.

In Spain second-placed Sevilla are 10 points ahead of opponents Barcelona who are having a tough season post-Messi. Julen Lopetegui's side look like they'll be Real Madrid's closes challengers for the title and can move to within 3 points of the league leaders.

Defeat for Barcelona would mean they've lost as many points as they've won his season and leave them still outside the European placings in the La Liga table. They've only won two of their last five visits to Sevilla but they've seldom travelled there in such poor shape. Yes, they still have players capable of individual brilliance but it looks a long way back to the top for them at the moment.

Sevilla are definitely worth a go a 7/5 or on he Asian Handicap (0.0/+0.5) at just over Evens (2.140).

On a sidenote, Sevilla can be backed a 7/1 to lift the Europa League for a fifth ime in nine seasons and following a kind draw against Dinamo Zagreb in the next round the should give you an each-way inerest deep in to he competition.

    Arsenal v Sunderland
    Arsenal to win -2 Asian Handicap at 2.100
    Arsenal have no European competition so should take this game serious and you would think they would cover this handicap with some to spare.Liverpool,Chelsea and West ham are the only teams in this that are in Europe so all are worth backing against in their respective games.
    Best of luck

    • spursman 2 years ago

      I think West Ham will go as strong as possible, putting Spurs out of another trophy would be a great thing for them to do

    • maccathered 2 years ago

      Maybe but that depends how far they want to go in Europe,a team like West Ham can’t compete on 3 fronts they just don’t have the squad depth.

    Has anyone had similar. Had a big £3 on Anderson to be booked 1st for Dundee at the weekend which he was. This settled on betfair though funds taken back and lying as open bet in my history. Have contacted them twice, great long spiel about suspicious betting patterns, just have to wait until their investigation is over. Any others had the same?

    Celtic have made an approach to the S P L to bring forward the shut down early but would they have made one if the l
    Old firm game was at ibrox and they had no injuries

    • heisenberg 2 years ago

      Yes they would have as they are doing what is best for the supporters who’ve already spent their hard earned money on season tickets and also the other clubs who are more fiscally challenged. With regards injuries part an parcel of footy.

    • heisenberg 2 years ago

      Hibernian have also released a statement that is along the same lines and includes a key paragraph.

      The Club also believes that this will protect the integrity of the competition and would save clubs from the potential loss of substantial revenue.

    Setting myself a £20-£200 challenge

    Bet1 Cricket Big Bash

    Melbourne v Perth

    Perth Scorchers to win 5/8

    Top versus bottom here. Although the Renegades have home advantage here, the Scorchers have a far superior team. They have one of the best bowling attacks , and more or less bat all the way down. They have a lot of big hitters in their team, and even if they lose a couple of early wickets, there’s plenty batting to come.
    Can’t see the scorchers losing this.

    🤞Bet2 will follow.

    Just seen Skybet are giving a choice of £5 free bet or £7.50 PL RAB for next week. I’ve always done the £6 inplay bet each week and just chuck in a certainty for an acca, hopefully they keep this going as can double 2 short priced ones for decent odds
