Check out our four-fold acca for Tuesday

Fulham v Tottenham – Tottenham to win & BTTS

There is an all-Premier League tie to look forward to at Craven Cottage, and the visitors will have the wind in their sails.

The early signs appear to be promising for Ange Postecoglou, who has seen his charges leak just two goals in their first three league games, and they are third in the table with seven points to their name.

A strong cup run will be warmly welcomed by the fans, who have seen their side starved of silverware.

Fulham have had more of a mixed start, but there have been some keenly contested affairs between these two London outfits.

Although the last two clashes in west London have produced just one goal, I fancy both sides to net. So, for my first pick, I have gone with Tottenham to win & BTTS which is available at an enticing 13/5.

Portsmouth v Peterborough – Peterborough to win

Currently, only goal difference separates these two League One representatives, although Peterborough, after a flying start to the season, have tasted defeat in back-to-back games.

Portsmouth, meanwhile, appear to be the draw specialists, as they have shared the spoils in each of their last two league run outs.

And with that, this could be a successful away trip for Posh, who may have to be patient before hitting on the counter to prevail.

For my second pick, I am leaning towards Peterborough to book their place in the next round, which is available at 23/10.

Tranmere v Leicester – Leicester to win inside 90 minutes

In terms of priorities, Leicester, who last won the League Cup in 2000, won’t place the EFL Cup high on it.

Marco Silva could well ring the changes for this one, and he could rest some faces.

That said, whoever comes in will want to impress the boss, and they will need to have a workmanlike attitude.

I don’t expect a cup upset here, and Leicester should come through in the regulation 90 minutes. They are priced at a very short 8/15 to do so.

Bolton v Middlesbrough – Bolton to win

Few would have expected Middlesbrough to be in the Championship relegation zone before the start of the campaign, but they can’t seem to buy a win, with just one point registered from their first five fixtures.

Bolton, meanwhile, are targeting promotion to the second tier of English football, and they are looking very good at the moment.

There could be more woe for the visitors, and so to round things off, I am gravitating towards Bolton to prevail which is available at an intriguing 9/5.
