Former Premier League and La Liga star, Michael Owen has tipped Chelsea to beat Frank Lampard’s Derby County in today’s Carabao Cup fixture at Stamford Bridge.

He also predicted that Arsenal will defeat Blackpool at Emirates Stadium tonight.

Owen, however, predicted Tottenham Hotspur to get a revenge against West Ham United after the Hammers came from 2-0 down to defeat Mauricio Pochettino’s side 3-2 last season.

“The return of Frank Lampard to Stamford Bridge, where he is sure to get a great reception from the Blues’ supporters, as befits the homecoming of one of the clubs’ greatest players,” Owen told BetVictor.

“That said I don’t expect to see Frank’s Rams’ side take anything from the game, such is the quality of this Chelsea squad who showed at Turf Moor on Sunday that they are genuine title contenders.”

On the Arsenal vs Blackpool game, Owen said: “The great Sir Stanley Matthews was playing for Blackpool the last time they won at Arsenal back in 1958 and I expect the Gunners to return to winning ways after their draw at Selhurst Parkon Sunday.

“Unai Emery will shuffle his pack with Liverpool the visitors at the weekend, but whatever side he fields should be able make their way past the Tangerines. Emery will want his side to start quicker than has been the case in recent games.”

Commenting on the West Ham vs Tottenham game, Owen added: “Spurs are back in action just 48 hours after their Wembley clash with Manchester City and I expect Mauricio Pochettino’s side to gain revenge for last season when the Hammers came from two-down to win 3-2 at Wembley at the corresponding stage of the competition,” Owen told BetVictor.

“Both managers are likely to make changes, but I feel Spurs have the stronger squad although it is a concern they are playing just two days after their vital Premier League clash with City.”

Meanwhile, the kick-off time for all the matches is 8:45pm.
