Our resident football tipster Tony Scott from the Liverpool Echo and Radio City is back for some midweek Carabao Cup tips, as he focuses on Everton and Liverpool, while picking his cert for Nottingham Forest’s clash with Arsenal.
TOFFEE’S TIP

| Tony Scott’s Toffees Tip | ||
| Gylfi Sigurdsson to score at anytime Best Bet | 2/1 |  |
Odds correct as of 2019-09-24 16:01:26
Everton manager Marco Silva will want an immediate reaction from his Everton players when they visit Hillsbrough on Tuesday evening. With the Toffees losing to Sheffield United on Saturday, more pressure has been added to Marco Silva in his quest to end Everton’s 24 year drought for a trophy.
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to repeat what their arch rivals did at the weekend against an Everton team who have only two away wins in all competitions since March.
Gylfi Sigurdsson found the net in the last round against Lincoln City and I expect him to get on the scoresheet once more. 21/10 is great value considering the attacking midfielder will be on penalty duties.
BET: Gylfi Sigurdsson to score anytime 2/1 BetVictor

Liverpool’s League Cup campain this season begins with a trip to MK Dons. I fully expect Jurgen Klopp to ring the changes with his liverpool team about play the first of four matches in ten days.
MK Dons have lost three of the last four on home soil so you’d be a brave punter backing The Dons at double figures against the Premier League leaders.
BET: Alex Oxlade Chamberlain to score anytime 9/4 Betfred
SCOTTY’S CERT
| Tuesday – 7.45pm | Odds | Bets |
|---|---|---|
| Tony Scott Scotty’s Cert – Arsenal v Nottingham Forest | ||
| Forest +1 Best Bet | 15/8 |  |
Odds correct as of 2019-09-24 18:33:43
Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in nine matches since the opening day of the season and will fancy their chances of causing an upset at the Emirates.
Arsenal are set to make wholesale changes to their team and that will give Nottingham Forest the opportunity to extend their run of scoring in every away match this season.
BET: Nottingham Forest + 1 goal 15/8 Paddy Power

Odds correct as of 2019-09-24 18:34:17
Preston have scored 15 goals in six homes matches including two against Premier League club Newcastle United.
