Manchester United and Newcastle United booked their places in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, now it's the turn of another four Premier League clubs vying for the season's first piece of silverware.
Both Nottingham Forest and Wolves‘ principal aim this season will be survival in the top flight but after tonight one of them will be just a two-legged semi-final away from a day out at Wembley.
Julen Lopetegui appears to be making an impact at Wolves despite a tough start. Most had written off their chances at Anfield on Saturday but a spirited display saw them force an FA Cup replay. His only defeats have come against Arsenal and Manchester United but his fixtures don't get much easier in the coming weeks with Manchester City and Liverpool on the horizon.
Forest's 4-1 defeat at Blackpool on Saturday underlined a lack of strength in depth at the City Ground and they could be vulnerable tonight again.
Wolves have won four of the last five meetings including a 1-0 win at Molineux in October. It could be another close one tonight which the visitors could just shade it at 9/5.
There appears to be little chance of an upset in tonight's other semi-final at St Mary's where Southampton host Manchester City.
Having only won the League Cup twice in the 52 years until 2013, City have now lifted the trophy eight times, six of those triumphs coming in the last nine seasons.
Their match-by-match record in the competition is phenomenal. They've lost just four games from the last 43 in the competition and two of those were in one of a two-legged semi-final which they eventually won on aggregate. It's no wonder they're just 1/5 to win tonight.
It should be comfortable win for the away side and at those odds a game best left alone.
Owen Coyle's Queen's Park are riding the crest of a wave at the moment. Six wins in a row in the league has put them top of the Championship, four points clear. Cup wins over Peterhead and Montrose make it eight wins on the bounce and they're scoring for fun too. The Spiders have found the net 30 times in those eight wins and have a Scottish Challenge Cup semi-final in their sights tonight.
Standing in their way are Raith Rovers, themselves on a run of five without defeat (W1 D4) but if form is anything to go by then Coyle's side look a good shout at 17/20.

Don’t know why but wolves btts is standing out 5/1 bet365
Wouldn’t bet against it. We are scoring better now. We’re pressing well and improving each game. I expect us to score.
However we always have a mistake in us defensively (hopefully we will sort this out with a good January defensive signing)…….. I would say it’s highly likely we will concede.
Cheers for the input rich, just seems to high of price to let go
Forest v wolves
Wrote this up a day or so ago.
This will be a tough tough game. However, Wolves are a different gravy under Julen Lopetegui. We have more fight, more intensity and our pressing and fitness is improving. We look better with each game.
We deserved to win Saturday at Anfield. Had it not been for poor officiating we probably would.
I fancy us to win. Really do. With our high press attacking play recently I fancy a couple of goals. Saturday night has really fired the team up and you can’t underestimate siege mentality.
Wolves 2+ goals – 7/4
Wolves win – 7/4 (I took 9/5 the other day)
I said before the LiVARpool game that due to our intensity from the start I would bet against us leading at half time (we very nearly did and I luckily cashed out at profit before Liv equalised just beforE HT.
Wolves not to lose
Wolves 2+ goals

Shanghai Shenhua v Shandong TaiShan
06:00
Chinese FA Cup 🇨🇳
Shanghai shenua to score 2-1 SKYBET 🇨🇳
Very suspicious about the prices on this game as Shanghai are 25-1 to win which on the face of it is ridiculous 🤔.
Shanghai beat shandong here 2-1 in August, they were just 9-2 to win that day and scored in the last 5 meetings here.
It’s also a cup semi final so there should be no issues regarding resting players etc unless they have all fled now that china has opened its borders 😆
Don’t get me wrong shandong should be winning this but unless I’m missing something 2-1 for a home goal here looks wide of the mark especially as they scored in 10 of last 11 home games.
Agree,only thing is the Chinese league just isn’t what it used to be,loved betting on goals before but since it’s demise I’ve left well alone for a very good reason, rubbish and predictable hence the 1/25, hope they have their shooting boots on for you, might help if you could blind fold the keeper but probably still fluff their lines,finger crossed 🙏,oh and toes for this one🤞

Over 1 goal in the match

Forest on a good run at home unbeaten in 6 games big crowd behind them should be an advantage,Wolves played well against Liverpool using the counter attack,Forest don’t play with a high line so it will or should be harder for wolves to exploit,Wolves also always good for a card.
Longshot
btts in both halves at 18/1
Looking at the City game they take this comp very serious so fully expect them to name a strong side,i’ll be on the Handicap market but wait inplay for odds to rise if City score early then i’ll plump for goals.
Best of luck

Forest v Wolves
Update now we have teams announced.
Yep…… Forest are unbeaten at home in 6 games. Wolves are unbeaten away in 6 games. We play better on our travels. We also have particularly good success at the City Ground having not lost in 5 visits since 2015. 4 of 5 of those visits have been Wolves wins.
Forest are massively improved since then but so are wolves. We’re smarting from being robbed in Merseyside Saturday evening. Forest are smarting after having there arses handed to them in Blackpool. We’re both up for this.
I’ll stick to my original predictions. Wolves win this one.
The caveat is that I can admit I’m biased as a wolves fan.
– I expect us to concede a goal
– I expect us to get at least 1 card
A couple of cheeky ones to add to my original predictions. Ex wolves players always do well against us.
Gibbs-white SoT – 5/6
Gibbs-white to score – 9/2 (bet365)
And Wily Boly has been known to get up for corners
Boly SoT – 4/1
Boly to score – 20/1
I’ll add a cheeky double into the mix.
Man City 2+ goals and 5+ corners
Wolves 1+ goal and 4+ corners
Just over 2/1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ffs we’ve started poorly,
And guess who scored for Forest….
Wily Boly 🤦🏻♂️
Good shout on boly to score , in within minutes. 👍
Had that feeling.
Couldn’t bring myself to bet on it.
To be fair this is the worst I’ve seen us play under Lopetegui.
There is still time, half time team talk could help
Oh he looks furious. I’d expect he will rip them a new one at half time.
I’d expect some HT subs and a formation change. The hybrid back 3/5 isn’t working for us especially with Johnny at RCB.
I’d expect 4-4-2 and some early (or HT) subs.
I’m going to look at Wolves double chance when HT arrives
Lens over 0.5tgs
Man City over 1.5tgs
Raith rovers over 2.5mgs
Treble 9/5
Good luck
Lost crap again
Notts Forrest v Wolves
Corner in the 1st 15 min
Penalty in the match
17/5 Hills bet builder .
To be fair I was half considering there may well be a penalty. Just a gut feeling.
Hope you gut is right rich . G.L.
Almost got your penalty there.
Our player fouled in the box and it even took his boot off.
No peno given

Southampton vs Man City – over 155 total goal minutes 11/10 Bet365 **NB**

PSG v ANGERS
Neymar to score and get booked. 8-1 Paddy/Betfair. Odds to drop soon.
Odds short but there are stories that Neymar has a Pele shirt so if he scores he is likely to get booked.
Phil Foden ATGS 12/5
I feel like these are generous odds for a player who will be keen to impress and who has scored in the last 2 H2Hs against Southampton.
Good luck
both teams to score double
auxerre v toulouse
clermont v rennes
william hill 9/4

Southampton will stuff up a lot of bets at this rate.
Bet365 got a massive price for ait nouri for Wolvds at 25/1 anytime, I’m maxed out in deposit limit but others generally 7/1
The way we’re playing I can’t see us scoring mate. Worst we’ve played under Lopetegui.
Need some huge changes very quickly if we’re getting back into this.
Ait-nouri has looked our best player so far tonight though….. seems like he’s the only one who wants it
Ait nouri subbed off…… 🤦🏻♂️
You were saying, richb20806 …
Chrisbax We’re still looking poor.
I’m now completely bewildered why he’s taken Jimenez off with 15 mins to go to penalties.
If this goes penalties then I’d be inclined to back Forest
No joy for me tonight – well done if you grabbed any winners!

seem a cert home win by way of knockout, but these are state cup games and it will almost certainly not be a full strength or match fit Bahia side.
This is backed up on the head to heads as juazeirense have won the last 2 in 2021/2022 and have scored in 11 of the last 13 head to heads going back to 2015 in state games.

Unibet 5/6 and evs now…
UNIBET as stated kf.
They were 7-4 to score and 2-1 BTTS most of the the day at HILLS,
An hour before kick off it was 6-5 to score and 13-10 BTTS.
UNIBET were the only firm which hadn’t reacted to the price drop luckily for me haha.
Must be the 10 grand I put on that scared them 😂.
Juazeirense just scored to make it 3-1 so happy days, I needed a change of luck agree a shitty week 🇧🇷
No joy with my pen at Forrest .LOSER

Thought there would have been goals but not to be,didn’t see Forest losing though so pulled some back on the bet builder.Both home teams won tonight’s games playing at home is a massive advantage in the quarters as it’s only one leg.
Not the result City would have wanted going into the derby at the weekend makes my bet even more appetising the lowest price Man Utd have been against City for the last 5 years..
Well done all winners
