West Bromwich are 10/11 favourites to win in the Carabao Cup tonight - while Derby County are 23/10 outsiders to cause the upset at The Hawthorns
West Brom are tipped to get the job done when looking at the betting lines - with Ryan Mason's side entering the contest as odds-on favourites at 11/10.
The Baggies kickstarted their league campaign with a win over the weekend - as Isaac Price's goal in the 15th minute helped the Midlands club secure a 1-0 victory over Blackburn at home.
Meanwhile, if you're anticipating Derby County to cause the upset in enemy territory this evening - they are 5/2 outsiders to do so according to Sky Bet.
It appeared as though Derby were going to secure a point away from home in their league opener on Saturday - however - their opponents Stoke scored in the 95th and 99th minute to hand the Rams a late 3-1 defeat.
Despite their disappointing loss - Derby take the head-to-head form in with them into tonight's fixture - as they dominated the Baggies 3-1 at The Hawthorns when these two sides last met in April.
Sky Bet odds for West Bromwich Albion vs Derby County (Carabao Cup):
West Bromwich Albion 11/10
Derby County 23/10

Sam Goodman opens up on ‘tough few months' after Naoya Inoue fight cancellations
World title challenger Sam Goodman has described his cancelled bouts with undisputed champion Naoya Inoue as a 'tough few months', with the Australian's full focus now on taking Nick Ball 's WBA featherweight belt this weekend, live on DAZN. Unbeaten in 20 fights, Goodman was due to meet one of boxing's best pound-for-pound fighters in Inoue in December 2024. However, in the week before the fight, a cut on Goodman's eyelid led to the fight being pushed back to January 2025. Unfortunately for Goodman, the cut opened up again on his return to contact training, seeing the bout with Inoue fall through. Explaining the situation to Boxing News, Goodman shared: 'It was a tough few months, getting through that and getting back to the ring. I had to take some time to let the eye heal up properly. After the first cut, we went back into it pretty quickly – not the sparring, we took about a month off." He added: 'So I was going into that second block of camp with no sparring. I had one contact session, and it split back open, much, much worse. So, that's what that was, and after that I had to take a few months, give it a good while to let it all heal up.' Goodman defeated Mexican prospect Cesar Vaca, now 19-2-1, via unanimous decison in May, a fight that he believed helped him get over missing out on the chance to face two-division undisputed champion Inoue. He continued: 'Man, it was just good to get back into the ring for my last fight, and know that I can go through a full camp without sustaining a cut. But it was tough, I lost the biggest opportunity. He added: 'After winning my last fight, it looked like I was still going to be out of the title picture, and I didn't really know where to look next.' Having fought just above the super bantamweight limit for his last fight, Goodman was given the opportunity to move up to featherweight and compete with Ball, the WBO 's champion at 126lbs. 'This popped up almost out of nowhere, and it was almost a no-brainer,' Goodman restarted. 'I've done this sport my whole life to become a world champion, and this is my shot. I know my world opens up, winning this fight. It's all about that. I'm not looking past this fight. 'I'm not getting overly emotional about everything, I'm just worried about the job and doing whatever I have to do, and doing whatever it takes to win this fight. 'That's where my head is at, and that's all my focus is on – beating this guy. After that I know the opportunities and what lies ahead.'

Sheehan aims to maintain record as Swans face Blades
Alan Sheehan wants more of the same at the Stadium as his Swansea City side prepare for their first home game of the new Championship host Sheffield United on Saturday (15:00 BST) having lost on the opening day at Middlesbrough last Welsh side claimed a first victory of 2025-26 as Crawley Town visited in the Carabao Cup in midweek – and Sheehan says that must be the first of many home wins if his team are to have a successful season."Home form is very important," said the Swansea head coach."Away you have to be difficult to beat, be competitive and pick up points."Some games will be different from others as we know – it's the Championship. But within that, the home form in front of your own fans, you want to be able to go and put in wonderful performances and send people home happy."Swansea were formidable on their own patch after Sheehan took the reins in February, winning five and losing only one of their last seven home games in 2024-25. Sheehan also claimed two wins from three home fixtures in his spell as caretaker boss during the 2023-24 season, giving him an overall record of 22 points from 10 league fixtures in Swansea's own backyard."Our fans were wonderful towards the end of last season when we built wonderful momentum," he added."We have got to get there again. When you are winning there is a wonderful feel to that. You get that extra couple of per cent when the fans are behind you."The players respond to it - they love it. Obviously we want to create that again."Swansea will again be without Ricardo Santos against the Blades, with the centre-back expected back in September after suffering a leg injury in Kaelan Casey is available after coming off against Crawley with cramp, while club skipper Ben Cabango (pictured above) has responded well after returning from injury in the Boro defeat.
