The Diski Preview team turns its attention to European football to weigh in on the League Cup Final and the Premier League. uThisha is of the perspective that Liverpool FC will be in for a surprise on Sunday afternoon. 

Here are some markets to consider adding to your betslip...

3 Way - Manchester United 27/50

Manchester United are on a run of 5 wins in a row in all competitions and no loses in their last 7 matches. They are a team reborn since the return of their rock solid defensive midfielder Casemiro. Although their injury list still has Tyrell, Malacia, Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. They have been boosted by the form of players like Maguire who looks transformed this season. Robbie Mainoo who has made his place next to Casemiro rock solid in recent games. A player who has found a rich vain of form is Rasmus Hojlund who has scored in each of Manchester United's last 5 Matches. Manchester United have enjoyed this fixture in recent times with 4 wins in a row and no losses against Fulham in their last 18 encounters. It is no wonder uThisha is backing them to win this fixture.

3 Way - Manchester City 43/100

Manchester City have hit a bump in their pursuit of defending their Premier League title in 23/24. Their draw against Chelsea was followed up with a one nil victory against Brentford on Tuesday night. Which extended their unbeaten run to 16 matches in a row in all competitions.  Against Bournemouth, Manchester City have a 14 match winning streak. It is unlikely that Bournemouth will be able to stop Manchester City from extending it. Their last three fixtures have ended as high scoring matches with the latest encounter ending 6-1 in favour of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

3 Way - Chelsea FC 11/5

uThisha has boldly said that "Liverpool will not win this final on Sunday afternoon" as bold a statement as this might be, the fact is that Liverpool have not lost to Chelsea in their last 8 encounters across all competitions. Games between these two are always reserved and cagey. 5 out of their last 6 encounters have ended with less than 2,5 goals on the board. Away from this fixture, both these teams are enjoying decent form with Liverpool on a run of 3 wins in a row and Chelsea on a run of 3 matches without a loss, including that draw against Manchester City. No matter the result in the final, you can expect to see a thrilling final between two teams who have the pedigree and the players to win this trophy.
