Inter Milan would head into this game with confidence after beating two tricky opponents in their last two games, but the impressive Sampdoria would be looking to inflict a second consecutive home loss in the league on the Milan side. Inter came from a goal down to beat Tottenham in the Champions League on Tuesday, and they followed that up with a 1-0 win at Sampdoria on Saturday. However, the last time they played a league game at home, they were beaten 1-0 by Parma and they would be desperate to avoid another upset here. Fiorentina are having one of the best starts to the new season as they are currently 3rd on the league table, having collected 10 points from five league games. Their good start has gotten their fans dreaming of a top six finish, and with AS Roma struggling at the moment, they could even fight for a place inside the top four. Their quest to become a top six team is not helped by the fact that they have won only once when they visit the teams that finished ahead of them last season. They have been well beaten by the likes of Juventus, Milan, and Inter on the road, and they lost 3-0 the last time they visited Inter. Five of the last six meetings between these two sides at this ground have seen over 2. 5 goals scored.

This is one of the most interesting games of this round of matches in the Carabao Cup. Jose Mourinho who managed the career of Frank Lampard when the midfielder turned out for Chelsea would be coming face to face with his former apprentice as he looks to show him that he remains the master. This game is also quite unpredictable after Manchester United’s latest failure to win a home game having won three consecutive games. The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw by Premier League new boys, Wolves at the weekend and that means they have won just one of three home games in the league so far. Jose Mourinho’s men have won just four of seven games this season, and they have been beaten by Brighton and Tottenham, the latter at Old Trafford. Derby County, on the other hand, are enjoying a bright start to their season under rookie manager, Lampard. They fell to an early goal to in-form Brentford at the weekend, but they showed their character as they recovered well to score three goals in the first half and turn the game around despite none of the teams scoring in the second half. The visitors have 5 wins from their last 7 games under Lampard. Away from home, they have also remained impressive after picking up 4 wins and two losses from six trips. Those results would give them the confidence that they can pull off an upset in this game as well.  

This is the only all-Premier League clash in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday and these two who have impressed in different degrees this season would be looking to go all the way in the competition. Wolves have started their return to the top flight well as they seat inside the top half of the league table and level on points with their visitors, their fans would be hoping that they can go further in this competition than they did the last time out. Leicester City are level on point with their host on the league table, and they have a manager who reached the final of this competition last year, as Claude Puel led Southampton to 2017 final, and their fans would be hoping that he can lead them all the way there as well. Wolves earned an impressive 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford at the weekend so they would be full of confidence ahead of this game. Leicester City have had an inconsistent season so far as they have won three and lost as many games in their opening 6 league games of the season. However, in their last game in this competition they showed their superiority by beating Fleetwood Town 4-0, this would be a much tougher game to win. These two have faced each other already in the league, with Leicester claiming a 2-0 win just over a month ago.
