Carling Cup–Round 4–THE STATS

Last year’s Round 4 results in stats form:

21 goals scored via the eight matches

10 goals scored in the first half—-11 in the second

5 home wins—1 draw—2 away wins (90 minutes)

Only semblance of a shock–Burnley’s eventual victory at Stamford Bridge

Seven of the eight teams that scored the first goal went on to win their respective games (five at home–2 away).

The only team that scored first and failed to win—were Chelsea!

Just two teams scored more than two goals

4 matches produced two goals or less–4 matches three goals or more

Last ten winners (moving backwards from last year):

Man Utd–Tottenham–Chelsea–Man Utd–Chelsea–Middlesbrough–Liverpool–Blackburn–Liverpool–Leicester (Tottenham have reached the last two finals)
