Dundee United vs Celtic

Parkhead witnesses navigating through a disastrous introduction to Wilfried Nancy's stewardship, with the Glasgow giants having endured the humiliation of losing each of their first three fixtures under their recently-appointed custodian. The 3-1 defeat to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised rock bottom that few associated with such a establishment could have imagined.

History records the solitary manager in the club's storied history to falter across his first three matches in charge, and we detect a palpable need to halt this alarming decline.

Yet, encouragement may be extracted from Dundee United's ongoing struggles. The Tannadice club have failed to record victory in any of their most recent seven outings, and notwithstanding Celtic's ongoing difficulties, the visitors still boast greater quality. We are endorsing the Glasgow institution to secure a crucial triumph.

The Bhoys victorious, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

Manchester City vs Brentford

Manchester City head into this League Cup quarter-final as overwhelming front-runners to claim victory and march into the next stage of the cup. The Etihad outfit clearly boast a stronger squad than their opponents.

Whilst Brentford have performed exceeding predictions under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this campaign, the Gtech Community Stadium outfit have now been unable to secure victory in any of their most recent three matches. Additionally, they have also failed to triumph in any of their last five fixtures with the Citizens – featuring four losses.

Considering these factors, we are endorsing Manchester City to claim success and qualify for the last four.

The Citizens advance, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC
