Tuesday football tips: Gunners take aim at EFL Cup semi-finals

The EFL Cup quarter-finals begin at the Emirates on Tuesday evening when Premier League Arsenal are long odds-on to seal a semi-final spot at the expense of League One Sunderland.

There is also action from Spain, including a blockbuster La Liga clash between Sevilla and Barcelona, and Italy, where Atalanta aim to close the gap to Serie A leaders Inter.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 7.45pm

Arsenal to win to nil v Sunderland

Juventus to win to nil v Cagliari

Atalanta to beat Genoa

Sevilla to beat Barcelona

Arsenal should outclass Sunderland in the EFL Cup and can ease through to the semi-finals without conceding, while Serie A giants Juventus have been breached just once in five matches in all competitions and can also keep a clean sheet in a victory over out-of-sorts Cagliari.

Atalanta lost 4-1 at Roma at the weekend but have won their last five on the road in Serie A. They look likely to bounce back against Genoa while Sevilla's home form makes them a bet against beleaguered Barcelona. The fourfold pays over 9-1 with bet365.

Arsenal v Sunderland

Emile Smith Rowe has come off the bench to score goals in Arsenal's last two matches and the England man could well be handed a start against the Black Cats. He's notched six goals in his last nine games and looks value to strike again at 2-1 with bet365.
