Liverpool have become the favourites to lift the Carabao Cup trophy following the Round of 16 Draw.
After a 3-1 comeback win over Leicester last night, Liverpool have emerged as the bookmakers' favourites to win the Carabao Cup.
Jurgen Klopp's side will travel to Bournemouth in the next round and the Merseyside team have been given a 78% chance of qualifying for the quarter finals.
Highlights from the Round of 16 draw include Manchester United hosting Newcastle, Arsenal travelling to West Ham, and high-flying Ipswich Town against Premier League Fulham.
Following Manchester City being dumped out of the Carabao Cup, Liverpool are now the new betting favourites to lift the trophy this season, valued at odds of 3/1.
A 3-1 victory over Leicester last night ensured the Reds' passage to the Round of 16, where they will travel to fellow Premier League side Bournemouth.
Jurgen Klopp's side has been given odds of 2/7 (77.8% chance) of progressing past Bournemouth and making it through to the quarter-finals stage.
In what is arguably the game of the round, Newcastle will be looking to take revenge for last season's final loss as they travel to Old Trafford to play Manchester United.
The bookmakers have this matchup almost evenly valued with Man United 4/5 to qualify (55.6% chance) and Newcastle 19/20 to progress (51.3% chance).
Another fixture that will excite fans in the next round is West Ham vs. Arsenal, with Declan Rice due to return to the Olympic Stadium for the first time since his summer transfer move.
Ipswich Town, who dispatched Premier League opposition in the last round, will bid to do it again as they welcome Marco Silva's Fulham side to Portman Road.
Quote from oddschecker spokesperson, Leon Blackman: "With Man City now out of the Carabao Cup, a new favourite for the competition must take shape. Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are now the bookies' and punters' favourite to win the competition for the second time in three years.
Since the draw was made last night, Liverpool has dominated bets on oddschecker, taking 31% of the total share. Newcastle is second to them with 18% of the bets taken. Having been odds of 45/1 at the start of the season, Liverpool is now 22/1 to win both the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.
Interestingly, bookmakers give them a 50% chance of winning a major trophy this campaign, with their odds set at 1/1 of doing so."
