Two of the tournament's outsiders, including League Two outfit Bradford, will contest this year's Capital One Cup final. Mike Norman details the In-Play odds...
Swansea will play Bradford City in the Capital One Cup final after beating Chelsea 2-0 on aggregate this evening.
In a game that will make the headlines for all the wrong reasons, Chelsea - rather like Aston Villa last night - failed to mount any serious pressure for a side needing to attack, and at the conclusion Swansea were full value for their 0-0 draw on the night.
The 0-0 Correct Score was matched at 19.5 with the draw being matched at a high of 6.05/1 In-Play.
But the game will be overshadowed by Eden Hazard's dismissal 10 minutes from time for what appeared to be a kick on a ball boy who seemed to be attempting to waste time by laying on the ball. A Sending Off was matched at 12.011/1.
Swansea have been matched at 65.064/1 to lift the trophy in late Ferbruary, and are now strong 1.21/5 favourites, but the remarkable story is that of League Two outfit Bradford.
The Bantams have been matched at Betfair's maximum price of 1000.0999/1 to win the competition, but a win over Arsenal, and a two-legged aggregate victory over Aston Villa, mean Phil Parkinson's men are now available to back at just 5.79/2 to record what would be seen as the biggest shock in the competition's history should they prevail.
In tonight's Premier League fixture Arsenal came from a goal down to beat West Ham 5-1 in a game that saw the Gunners score an incredible four goals in a 10 minute spell at the start of the second half.
Arsene Wenger's men were matched at a high of just 2.588/5 when trailing, while the 5-1 Correct Score was matched at 75.074/1.
