Big Names Out, Big Names Remain
It's fair to say the Carabao Cup's early rounds threw up some big surprises. We saw the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea get dumped out in the early stages. Ouch! But even though some heavyweights have bitten the dust, there are still plenty of heavy hitters remaining.
Who's Still In It To Win It?
Newcastle and Southampton made it through a grueling set of matches to make the quarter-finals. The Magpies will be feeling confident after their strong league form, while Saints are looking to make a statement in a competition they haven't won since 1987.
Manchester City are, of course, the heavy favorites. They're a machine when it comes to domestic cups, and they'll be looking to add another one to their trophy cabinet. Liverpool, the reigning champions, are also in the mix and will be eager to defend their title.
Nottingham Forest have been a breath of fresh air this season, and they've already pulled off some big upsets. They'll be looking to continue their giant-killing ways against a Wolves side that's been struggling for consistency.
Can We Expect More Surprises?
It's been a Cup full of surprises so far, and we wouldn't be surprised if we see another upset or two in the quarters. With the stakes getting higher, every match will be a battle, and we're in for a wild ride. So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and get ready for some exciting Carabao Cup action!
