That's an almighty chip on your shoulder.
It's so big, it seems to be causing you to make up complete and utter bullshit. Not a chip, just someone who'd like to see the most interesting ties on TV from time to time rather than boring old Liverpool and Man Utd at home against anybody. |

No, I'm pretty sure that it's actually a fact and not made up bullshit that Liverpool games at home against the likes of Exeter and Oldham have been somehow been selected for live TV in the last year or two.
Liverpool v Exeter was also in the FA Cup, but was also a replay. That dilutes whatever point you were trying to make. So it seems the chip on your shoulder is causing you to make up bullshit. |

Cue repeated showings of George Best's six goals for Man Utd away to Northampton in 1970 in the build-up to this one. I seem to remember that being the case when they met in the FA Cup in about 2004.

Seems I made a bit of a tit of myself with the Liverpool Oldham, could have sworn it was on live. Maybe it was a stream somebody had on at the time, because I'm sure I had a moan about being made to watch it!

Liverpool game will definitely be shown live, it's the law. Sky choose them because of all the plastic supporters aka viewing figures even when they're at home to L1 opposition regardless of the attractiveness of other ties.
To be fair Derby v Liverpool is an attractive game, on paper, so it'll get the pick ahead of Forest v Arsenal - Liverpool did put a strong side out the other night, Arsenal probably won't do. Leicester v Chelsea is likely to be largely second string players as well, they're more bothered about the Champs League than the EFL Cup. Good viewing figures (and a full stadium every single game) suggests anything but plastic supporters. |

Personally I would go with Forest v Arsenal and Northampton v Man U.
Jose has been a fan of the League Cup over the years so I think he will play a quality first 11, Aresne is likely to make 8 or 9 changes, but That could swing it into Forests favor. Personally im pleased Everton got Norwich at Goodison |

Leicester v Chelsea, Tuesday 20th September, 7.45pm
Northampton v Man Utd, Wednesday 21st September, 7.45pm Very disappointed to see Leicester v Chelsea picked personally. Would much rather have seen Forest v Arsenal or Derby v Liverpool. |

I suppose the narrative for Leicester v Chelsea is that this competition really matters (or at least it should) to Chelsea. However, I can's see Leicester fielding a first XI.

Reminds me a bit of when Sky didn't show Chelsea vs Liverpool a few seasons back because they couldn't get it played on the night they wanted, and showed Man U vs Palace (?) instead. Though I might have imagined that, because apparently they always pick Liverpool. |

Perhaps Sky have finally realised Arsenal don't give two hoots about the league cup and are not worth showing?

I have to say, rather surprised to see Derby Liverpool not picked for TV!
Forest Arsenal is also alot better tie to chose from. Possible we will see Sky add a 3rd game like they did last season once? Because one of those games deserves TV coverage IMHO! |

I don't understand why they've picked Leicester and Chelsea at all? If Leicester had not won the league this game wouldn't have been picked
Personally for me.. Cup picks should be a lower league side at home to a higher side (ie chance of a shock) makes it more exciting! To pick an all premier league tie this early is silly as the chances are one of those sides will be shown more than twice in the efl cup now |

I dont get why people moan about the picks, just watch Soccer Special, which these days shows the majority of the goals as they go in anyway

Sky I think show the EFL Cup Goals, at Games, where they have a reporter.
On reporters Michelle Owen is quite yummy |
