Everton 1.77 v Norwich 5.30; The Draw 4.00
It might seem like the ideal time to face Norwich now that their bright reintroduction to the Premier League has made way for three successive defeats, but Everton's home form is also dreary, and will no longer be masked by their away progress following their first road reverse at Arsenal on Saturday.
The Toffees' 3-1 win over Chelsea was their standalone success in seven dating back to May, and there hasn't been a single clean sheet kept in that sequence. That works out perfectly for Alex Neil, whose side's sole blank on their travels since February came when reduced to ten men after 31 minutes at Southampton.
All four games involving these clubs in the Capital One Cup this season went over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in five of Everton's six Goodison Park ties in the competition this decade, the exception being a 5-0 dismissal of Leyton Orient.
Recommended Bet: Back both teams to score @ 1.82
Hull 2.78 v Leicester 2.70; The Draw 3.55
"I work every day on defending. I know I'm an Italian manager and when we concede a goal something cuts inside our heart, but when we draw or win it's okay, I close my eyes."
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri finally got the clean sheet that he craved in a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday which, in defiance of all stereotypes, was the first of their dozen fixtures under the lovable veteran to feature a single shutout, either for them or their opponents.
Their Capital One Cup adversaries are made-to-measure for their intention of making low scores a more regular component of their output. The Tigers have gone under 2.5 goals in a massive ten of their last 11 matches, not to mention their five Capital One Cup clashes at the KC Stadium this decade.
Recommended Bet: Back under 2.5 goals @ 1.90
Stoke 3.80 v Chelsea 2.14; The Draw 3.60
Chelsea have no Nemanja Matic, no Pedro Rodriguez, no away wins in four and no confidence, so it feels remarkable that they are close to evens favourites to prevail at Stoke.
Sure, the Potters delivered one of their worst performances under Mark Hughes at the weekend to lose 2-0 at home to Watford, yet surely that one dud display doesn't cancel out the four triumphs in a row which preceded it, during which they were breached just once. And now Ryan Shawcross is back!
Another factor counting against the Blues - allowing Jose Mourinho to tune up his cries of conspiracy nice and early - is that the competition holders haven't advanced beyond the fourth round to the quarter-finals in any of the past four editions.
Recommended Bet: Back Stoke to win @ 4.20
