Capital One Cup on Betfair: Big guns kept apart as Chelsea, City, and Spurs all progress

Chelsea are the 4.03/1 favourites to win the Capital One Cup after being handed a fourth round tie away to League Two outfit Shrewsbury following their narrow victory over Bolton on Wednesday night.

Defender Kurt Zouma was matched at 42.041/1 in the First Goalscorer market before giving Jose Mournho's men the lead but Matt Mills levelled to send the two sides into the interval locked at 1-1 - a scoreline that was matched at 27.026/1 in the Half Time market.

A 55th minute strike from Oscar sealed the win for the home side however with the 2-1 Correct Score hitting a high of 17.533/2.

Manchester City thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 7-0 to book a fourth round tie with Newcastle but it wasn't all plain sailing for Manuel Pellegrini's men.

City drew a blank in the first 45 minutes and went into the interval goalless with their Championship side opposition. But a plethora of second half goals, including two from Frank Lampard, ultimately sealed a comprehensive victory for the defending champions.

The betting highlights from this game included Over 5.5 and Over 6.5 Goals being matched at 100.099/1 and 190.0189/1 respectively, and the 7-0 Correct Score being matched at a high of 210.0209/1 In-Play.

The Citizens are now available to back at 4.57/2 to defend their crown.

Tottenham had to come from a goal down to beat Championship leaders Nottinghamm Forest but goals from Ryan Mason, Roberto Soldado, and Harry Kane rewarded those who backed the 3-1 Correct Score at 90.089/1.

Spurs themselves were matched at 7.613/2 to win the game but their reward for doing so was a home tie against Brighton in the next round. Mauricio Pochettino's men can be backed at 7.613/2 to lift the trophy.

Elsewhere tonight West Brom were matched at the huge price of 210.0209/1 to win inside 90 minutes against Hull but two late goals from the Baggies turned a 1-2 deficit into a 3-2 victory at the Hawthorns, while Brighton - matched at 29.028/1 to beat Burton 0-3 - and extra-time winners Newcastle also progressed.
