Tuesday football tips: Arsenal out to prove they are up for the cup

Arsenal to beat Leeds

Wigan to beat Lincoln

Milan to win and over 2.5 goals v Torino

Under 2.5 goals in Espanyol v Bilbao

Arsenal have won four of their last five home games and their superior strength in depth should see them beat injury-hit Leeds in the EFL Cup.

Wigan can get back to winning ways at home in League 1, while Milan's excellent frontline that has netted 22 goals in Serie A should prove too hot for Torino to handle.

Meetings between Espanyol and Bilbao tend to be pragmatic - none of the last four has featured more than two goals - and it promises to be another tight clash at the RCDE Stadium.
