EFL Carabao Cup Round of 16: Arsenal v Leeds United, Chelsea v Southampton, with odds and predictions

Tuesday, the EFL Carabao Cup Round of 16 kicks off with three games, with the other five matches set for Wednesday.

All three today have London teams as favorites: Arsenal v Leeds, Chelsea v Southampton, and QPR v Sunderland.

I have some hesitation taking QPR, but they are close to the Championship playoff spots and playing well, so I will take a shot. Arsenal is playing well also, and Chelsea has two squads of players trying to get into the XI.

Make it a London triple play.
