It’s no surprise that this Sunday’s EFL Cup final comes with huge betting interest as Manchester United and Newcastle United compete for the first English major silverware of the season.

Erik ten Hag’s team are unsurprisingly favourites given their superior form and position in the Premier League table, but Newcastle’s quest to end a 68-year wait for a major trophy will be a huge motivational factor for the underdogs at Wembley Stadium.

There are a number of enticing Betfair odds boosts available to new and existing customers ahead of the highly-anticipated fixture this weekend. We have picked the best of the bunch below — simply click ‘claim offer’ to place the bets you like the best.

Marcus Rashford To Score Two Or More — Was 8/1 – Now 12/1

Marcus Rashford is one of the most in-form players in Europe at this moment in time, having scored 15 goals in his last 17 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United. The 25-year-old is in the form of his life coming into this showpiece event and it will be interesting to see how Erik ten Hag utilises him in this match. Rashford has thrived both as a central striker and left winger during this spell and his potential battles against Kieran Trippier or Fabian Schar and Sven Botman are likely to have a decisive outcome in the final. He has netted a brace on four separate occasions for Manchester United this season — including a double in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Leicester — as well as one against Wales at the World Cup.

Allan Saint-Maximin To Score Or Assist — Was 6/4 – Now 2/1

One of the few positives to come from Newcastle’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend that saw Nick Pope sent off was the performance of Allan Saint-Maximin. Always known for being a mercurial and inconsistent talent, the French winger has struggled to force his way into Eddie Howe’s preferred XI this season but has started each of their last two Premier League games. Both Joe Willock and Joelinton are fitness doubts ahead of the Wembley fixture, putting Saint-Maximin in line to retain his place in the lineup. Saint-Maximin’s pace and ability to carry the ball on the counter-attack is likely to be key in Howe’s gameplan, making 2/1 a solid price for him to have any goal involvement.

Jadon Sancho & Miguel Almiron 1+ Shot On Target Each — Was 9/4 – Now 11/4

Miguel Almiron has been one of the stories of the season so far, with his incredible run of form being a key component of Newcastle’s success. He comes into Sunday having scored 10 goals in 23 appearances in the Premier League and scored last week against Bournemouth. Alternatively, Jadon Sancho has had a slower start for Manchester United but has begun to find his feet since returning to the team this month. Both players are likely to start this weekend and we like the price of 11/4 for both to have a shot on target.

Fred & Bruno Guimaraes To Commit 2 Or More Fouls Each — Was 11/4 – Now 10/3

The commit 2 or more fouls market has become increasingly popular in recent times, making 10/3 a tempting price for two tenacious Brazilians in Fred and Bruno Guimaraes. Guimaraes is averaging 2 fouls per game from 6 appearances in the League Cup this season and has picked up four yellow cards and one red card so far this term. Meanwhile, Fred is also averaging 2 fouls per game in another competition, the Europa League, as well as 2.8 tackles. It’s expected to be a crackling atmosphere at Wembley this weekend and both players are extremely combative, making this a price boost to watch.
