Dundee United vs Celtic

The Bhoys endure traversing within a disastrous introduction to Wilfried Nancy's stewardship, with the Celtic Park institution having experienced the ignominy of losing all their first three under their recently-appointed manager. The crushing 3-1 reverse to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised a nadir that few connected with so grand an institution could have imagined.

History records the solitary manager in the Bhoys' decorated chronicles to lose his initial three matches in tenure, and one senses an urgent desire to arrest this alarming decline.

However, encouragement may be drawn from Dundee United's continued tribulations. The Dundee outfit have failed to secure victory in any of their most recent seven outings, and despite Celtic's ongoing challenges, the visitors still boast more refined quality. We are endorsing the green-and-white institution to secure a much-needed three points.

City's Cup Pursuit

Manchester City enter this Carabao Cup quarter-final as overwhelming favourites to claim victory and move into the semi-final round of the tournament. The Citizens manifestly command a stronger squad than their visitors.

Whilst Brentford have operated above predictions under new manager Keith Andrews this season, the Gtech Community Stadium outfit have now failed to win any of their last three fixtures. Additionally, they have also failed to secure victory from any of their previous five meetings with the Manchester outfit – including four reverses.

Considering these factors, we are endorsing Manchester City to claim victory and march on for the semi-finals.
