Football Accumulator Tips: 27/1 goalscorer treble can land in the League Cup

Four Carabao Cup fixtures take place on Wednesday evening and @AnthonyEadson is on hand with his best acca tips. For the midweek offering, he’s picked out three anytime goalscorers that he likes the look of at a best-price of 27/1 with bookmaker bet365.

First up we are off to Elland Road for a Yorkshire derby between Leeds United and Barnsley. With Patrick Bamford not likely to be risked after returning from injury, Joe Gelhardt is likely to start as the main forward for Jesse Marsch’s side and is the first player we are siding with to find the net on Wednesday. 

Gelhardt can be found at 8/5 to score against Barnsley which is currently best priced with bet365 along with the other two selections in this treble. The 20-year-old only played 746 minutes of Premier League football last season, with 15 of his 20 appearances coming from the substitutes bench. The youngster still managed two top-flight goals last term and will be eager to impress in this League Cup clash. Leeds have started the season really well and after their 3-0 win over Chelsea at the weekend, they can take that positive energy into this game with the lively Gelhardt getting on the scoresheet.

Newcastle were another side involved in one of the more entertaining games last weekend as they played out a 3-3 draw with Manchester City. Wholesale changes are expected from manager Eddie Howe as the Magpies travel to Birkenhead to take on Tranmere in the cup, with Jacob Murphy one of the players set to feature in the starting XI for this game which is live on Sky.

Murphy has only scored three goals in the last two seasons for Newcastle in the Premier League but can often come alive in cup competitions as shown when letting off 15 shots across three matches in this competition in 2020/21. That included a nine shot haul when away at Newport County and he’s a player who certainly isn’t afraid of having a crack when in attacking areas, despite having started his career in more defensive positions. Murphy could well line up as a wide attacker in a front-three alongside Chris Wood and Ryan Fraser and at 7/2 I think he’s worth a little tickle in the anytime scorer market.

Rounding off the trio is Brighton’s Deniz Undav who’s Seagulls side take on Forest Green Rovers. Just like Leeds and Newcastle, Brighton have made a strong start to their league campaign with all three teams currently finding themselves inside the top-six at this early stage. 

With Neal Maupay reportedly on his way out of the club, Wednesday provides a real opportunity for Undav to impress his new boss who was quoted as saying on Tuesday afternoon “Undav will be in the squad. He’s had to be patient so we are looking forward to his involvement.

Last season the German forward was the top-scorer in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League as his Union Saint Gilloise side finished top of the table in the regular season after only achieving promotion back to the top-flight the season prior. Undav bagged 25 goals in just 33 league appearances in 2021/2022 and can open his account against third-tier opposition.
