EFL Cup semi-final predictions including Manchester United vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole provides score predictions for both EFL Cup semi-finals - Tottenham Hotspur vs. Brentford and Manchester United vs. Manchester City.

Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford square off in the EFL Cup semi-finals on Tuesday night as both clubs look to move a step closer to claiming the first silverware of 2020-21.

While Spurs returned to the top four in the Premier League table on Saturday with victory over Leeds United, the Bees hold fourth spot in the Championship after their fixture with Bristol City was postponed.

We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Brentford


Having been provided with a much-deserved break over the weekend, we expect Brentford to be firing on all cylinders at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, regardless of the amount of that which are made by Mourinho, Spurs should have enough in the tank to edge their way into the final.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Man Utd vs. Man City (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

The two most in-form teams in the Premier League turn their attention to the EFL Cup on Wednesday night as Manchester United host Manchester City in a mouth-watering derby at Old Trafford.

The local rivals are meeting in the semi-finals of the competition for the second year in a row, and both of them come into the contest off the back of notable weekend wins.

We say: Manchester United 2-2 Manchester City (Man City to win on penalties)


This is an incredibly difficult derby to call. After the dreary nature of the recent league meeting between these two we are at least expecting goals this time, but beyond that we are struggling to separate the two sides.

Both have enjoyed comfortable wins over Premier League teams already in this season's competition, both go into the game in fine domestic form and both have recent experience of playing in the EFL Cup semi-finals.

Ultimately, the nature of Man City's win over Chelsea on Sunday and their incredible recent record in this competition means we expect the visitors to reach the final, but it should be close and may even go all the way.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
