Jose Mourinho's men are favourites to win the League Cup
Just eight clubs remain in the Capital One Cup and Mike Norman has details of the quarter-final draw and updated odds, plus the significant prices matched in one of the season's big shocks...
Newcastle United produced one of the shocks of the season by beating Manchester City 0-2 at the Etihad Stadium this evening to book their place in the Capital One Cup quarter-final.
Following back-to-back league wins there was an air of confidence about the north-east outfit but with Alan Pardew fielding a much-changed and relatively inexperienced side that included teenagers Adam Armstrong and Rolando Aarons, few gave them a chance of victory over the Premier League champions.
In fact when the starting line-ups were known with City including the likes of Yaya Toure, David Silva, Edin Dzeko, and Stevan Jovetic in their starting XI, the hosts were matched at a low of just 1.182/11 before kick-off to win the game.
But it was Newcastle - matched at 22.021/1 - who prevailed thanks to goals from Aarons and Moussa Sissoko as they recorded a fully deserved 0-2 victory.
Aarons was matched at 36.035/1 to score the first goal of the game, while the 0-2 Correct Score was matched at the huge price of 180.0179/1.
The Magpies reward for their magnificent win is a quarter-final tie away to Tottenham, who beat Brighton 2-0 at White Hart Lane tonight. Of course, Pardew's men beat Spurs at the Lane 1-2 in the Premier League just three days ago.
Chelsea are the 2.56/4 favourites to win the Capital One Cup after being drawn away to Championship leaders Derby.
Jose Mourinho's men survived a mini scare at Shrewsbury on Tuesday night but eventually came away with a 1-2 win, while Derby came from 2-0 down to beat Fulham 2-5 at Craven Cottage.
The two other ties are League One outfit Sheffield United at home to Southampton, who were involved in a 2-3 victory - matched at 42.041/1 - at Stoke this evening, and Championship side Bournemouth at home to eight-time League Cup winners Liverpool.
