Two league draws for Cardiff to start the season and back-to-back defeats for Norwich - but the Canaries are slight 11/82.38 favourites while the Bluebirds, who reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals last season, are 7/42.75 for a home win.
Goals have been a theme for both sides, with both scoring in five of their combined six games, as has over 2.5 goals, which at 20/231.87 here looks like a great shout. But in the Carabao Cup they've both won five-goal shootouts, so over 3.5 here has a great chance.
Back over 3.5 goals
Doncaster v Middlesbrough Tip - Boro to do the job

League One side Doncaster are 4/15.00 after beating Stockport on pens in the last round but are underdogs at home against Championship side Middlesbrough, who are big fancies at 6/101.60. Boro edged Wrexham last round and needed a stoppage time winner to beat Lincoln in the league before losing at Blackburn so they're hardly flying themselves.
Kim Hellberg will likely make changes but Boro should still be too strong. Doncaster haven't been filled with goals and Boro will just want to get the job done so we'll back a professional away win without too many goals.
Back Middlesbrough win and under 3.5 goals

Chris Wilder's Sheff Utd have had back-to-back 0-0s to start the league with the backdrop of a possible points deduction amid financial problems hanging over them. They're 31/202.55 here for a tough trip to Ewood Park at any time let alone with the crisis the Blades dealing with.
Tony Mowbray's Blackburn are 13/82.63 and will have to make the running and break down what will be another rearguard action from the Blades. Expect them to do it but, with Wilder's side making this another tough watch, it could just be by the odd goal.
Back Blackburn win to nil
Ipswich v Leicester Tip - Going to pens at Portman Road

Leicester took four points off Ipswich in the Championship last season but were still relegated and have struggled in League One, while the Tractor Boys got off to a winning start in the Premier League by beating Sunderland. So the hosts are 8/151.53 favourites here.
The Foxes are 9/25.50 but I can see Russell Martin's side having a chance here if he puts out a strong side - they should have plenty of the ball with the way he plays and, after a tough start in the league, he could do with a result here. This fixture's been littered with draws, four 1-1s in the last six meetings, and this could easily be another with the tie then settled on pens with no extra-time at this stage.
Back the draw

Wolves have been banging in the goals so far this season, with eight in three games, so not many are giving 4/15.00 Sheffield Wednesday a chance here, with the visitors 6/101.60 and looking a good bet to progress.
The Owls have kept things pretty tight at the back but all three Wolves games have gone over 2.5 (two of three have gone over 3.5) so there should be three goals minimum.
Back Wolves win and over 2.5 goals
Southampton v West Ham Tip - Score draw at St Mary's

These two Championship big guns can't be split at 31/202.55 each to win. West Ham are unbeaten in four head-to-heads but Saints have won the last two cup meetings and they have recent cup form having reached the FA Cup semis last year.
Both teams have 100% both teams to score records in the league so far, they both have decent squad depth and will both make changes. Smells like a score draw to me with this another one to be settled from the penalty spot.

Nottm Forest v Leeds Tip - Swift revenge for Tricky Trees

A quick rematch here after Leeds pinched the Premier League points on Saturday, but there'll be team changes on both sides this time at the City Ground. Oliver Glasner is a confirmed cup specialist and hosts Forest are 23/202.15 favourites to gain swift revenge.
Leeds are 21/103.10 and Daniel Farke looks to have some improvement in him from last year, so a cup run would be a great addition this season. But Glasner gets my vote to edge another evenly matched contest.
