What Football Hub Is

Everything Football Hub Does, Pointed At The EFL Cup.

Football Hub puts a ridiculous amount of football data under one roof: ten seasons of stats, live matches, predictions and bookmaker prices for 22 leagues, 14 cups and 9 international competitions. Cheatsheets spot the patterns that keep repeating, and The Analyst, an AI that has read all of it, does the digging when you ask it a question. Here is what that means for the EFL Cup.

Every Round, Every Season. From the first round in August to the final, with the two-legged semi-finals shown as the ties they are, for ten seasons.

Lineups The Moment They Land. Team sheets arrive as soon as they are confirmed, with each player’s rating, so a heavily rotated side is visible before kick-off.

Cup Form, Not Just League Form. Every club’s page carries its cup results alongside its league ones, so a side’s record in the competition is a click away.

Best Prices. The bookmakers price every EFL Cup tie, and the app shows the best price for each market across the bookmakers.

The Match Centre

Every EFL Cup Tie, Taken Apart.

Both team sheets on the pitch in their formations the moment they are confirmed, a timeline of goals, cards and substitutions, the statistics and a rating for every player, live and long after the final whistle. Ask The Analyst, the AI that has read every match in Football Hub, about any tie and it reads all of this before it answers.

How It Plays

The EFL Cup, By The Numbers.

The EFL Cup, currently played as the Carabao Cup, is contested by the 92 clubs of the Premier League and the Football League. It runs from August to a final in late winter, with single-leg ties throughout except for the two-legged semi-finals. Football Hub holds every tie since 2017/18, 908 matches across 104 different clubs. It is the cup of the changed team sheet. Premier League sides enter late and often rest their regulars, which is why the away side wins a larger share of EFL Cup ties than of league matches. Lineups land in the app as soon as they are confirmed, so the rotation is visible before the game is, and every tie is in the match centre in full.

Questions

Questions About The EFL Cup.

The ones people ask before they sign up. Anything else, send us a message.

Which Clubs Play In The EFL Cup?

All 92 clubs of the Premier League and the three divisions of the Football League. Lower-division clubs enter in the first round in August; Premier League clubs join in the second or, if they are in Europe, the third.

How Are Drawn EFL Cup Ties Settled?

A tie level after 90 minutes goes straight to penalties in the early rounds. The semi-finals are played over two legs, and the final goes to extra time and then penalties if needed.

Does Football Hub Grade EFL Cup Ties?

The analyst’s match grades are for league matches. For a cup tie you get both sides’ form and ratings, the lineups as soon as they are confirmed, the prices and the full match centre, and you can ask the analyst what a changed team sheet means for the game.

How Many EFL Cup Matches Are On Record?

908 finished matches across ten seasons, involving 104 different clubs, each with its lineups, events and statistics where the feed carries them.
