Middlesbrough secured their first win of the season thanks to captain Jonny Howson’s penalty winner against Sunderland on Saturday and Michael Carrick will be desperate that any momentum isn’t derailed at League Two Bradford City.
Relief was palpable at the full-time whistle once the three points were secure and Carrick is confident they can build on the win despite promising to make changes to the starting XI. He’s done so with good effect so far, seeing off Huddersfield and Bolton in previous rounds.
Mark Hughes’ Bantams sit mid-table in League Two, two divisions below Boro, but they’re unbeaten at home (W2 D2) and are 11/10 to avoid to defeat in the Draw No Bet market (90 mins).
It’s 20 years this season since Middlesbrough won the EFL trophy and they should be good enough to book a place in the last 16 at 7/10 tonight.
Burnley have endured a tough start to life in the Premier League but Vincent Kompany has stuck by his principles which will surely pay dividends eventually. They suffered a narrow defeat to Manchester United on Saturday night but should enjoy success against the Red Devil’s neighbours, Salford City.
Defeat to Harrogate on Saturday was Salford fifth in a row so they come in to this one a poor form. They’ve won their previous two rounds on penalties after impressive draws with Championship sides Leeds and high-flying Preston but this looks like it should be a step too far.
Double up Burnley with Boro for a 6/5 Double.
The last things any Premier League side want in the cup is to be drawn away at in-form side from the Championship but that the scenario for Wolves who travel to second-placed Ipswich Town.
The Tractor Boys only defeat this season has come in a seven-goal thriller against Leeds, but they won by the odd goal in seven at the weekend after Blackburn threatened to leave Portman Road with all three points.
They’re the joint top scorers in the second tier. Compare that to Wolves’ six in the Premier League.
It looks like the proverbial banana skin for Gary O’Neil’s side and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Ipswich nick this one at a healthy 17/10.
