February 3rd: Tuesday’s EFL Trophy Double – 8/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

Watching Arsenal welcome historic rivals Chelsea to the Emirates for their heavyweight second-leg EFL Cup showdown, we have a stacked English schedule in midweek.

Alongside a quartet of Championship battles, we have plenty of eye-catching battles from up and down the country.

For those of you looking to stick on a Tuesday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive English betting tips.

19:45 Hull City vs Watford 

Only just dragging themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Championship status, Hull have certainly cemented their spot as one of England’s ultimate surprise packages this time around. Shattering a string of records this season and rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across the country, Sergej Jakirovic’s men have skyrocketed their way up the table and find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen putting in another gritty performance as they secured a 1-0 win away at Blackburn, the Tigers can remarkably move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots on Tuesday night. Riding an iconic wave of momentum, Hull now have their sights set on booking a famous Premier League return in 2026. In fact, Jakirovic’s side have astonishingly won all of their previous five consecutive appearances across all competitions and they should be smelling the chance to make another statement in Yorkshire.

Watching Javi Gracia leave Vicarage Road for a second time over the weekend, Watford suddenly find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Free-falling down the Championship standings and watching their outside play-off dreams take a major blow, the Hornets should be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they travel to the MKM Stadium on Tuesday night. Last seen on Saturday afternoon falling to a disappointing 2-0 loss at home against Swansea, Watford have now failed to win any of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Watching their FA Cup adventure come to a nightmare end on January 10th as they slumped to a 5-1 drumming at the hands of Bristol City, the Hornets are pencilled in as a real underdog contender in midweek. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class between Tuesday’s opponents, a home victory in Yorkshire can be found at appealing odds here.

20:00 Arsenal vs Chelsea 

Claiming an essential domestic boost over the weekend as they stormed their way to an emetic 4-0 romp away at Leeds, Arsenal are sat in the driving seat to complete an iconic silverware sweep in 2026. Embarking on a record-breaking Champions League romp and the only club from across Europe’s elite who signs off their group stage adventure with a 100% record, Mikel Arteta’s men will be looking to collect another heavyweight scalp here. Claiming a first-leg advantage at Stamford Bridge on January 14th as they secured a thrilling 3-2 victory, Arsenal have also found a real clinical edge in the final third. It should also be highlighted, Arteta’s side have won all of their last three straight showdowns against Chelsea in north London by an aggregate score of 9-1. It should also be noted, notching 46 Premier League goals so far this season, Tuesday’s hosts hold the second-best attacking tally among England’s elite.

Mounting a sensational domestic comeback at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, Chelsea are clearly enjoying life under new boss Liam Rosenior. Eventually snatching a last-gasp 3-2 victory at home against historic rivals West Ham, the former Strasbourg manager finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Punching their respective Champions League Round of 16 ticket last week as they secured another 3-2 win away at Italian giants Napoli, Chelsea have won all of their previous five appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 12-5. Likewise, the Blues have also won six of their first seen showdowns since Rosenior’s shock arrival in west London. Despite being pencilled in as a major underdog when they travel across the capital on Tuesday night, Chelsea will certainly ask some serious questions. However, it should be noted that the midweek guests have failed to record a single clean sheet outside of SW6 since the start of December.
