Chelsea
Liverpool
Tottenham
Everton
Man City
2 days ago, all of those teams would have fancied their chances of winning this competition, and now have to write it off as a Mickey Mouse trophy that they don't care about. In the style of the jilted teenager, they were going to dump her anyway, stupid cow, and they're better off without her. Plus she's ugly and they'd rather pull her mates much more anyway.
Throw in the fact that Bolton, Blackburn, Sunderland and Fulham are also eliminated, and it really is anyone's to win. It is likely to boil down to Arsenal or Man United, but it will be intriguing to watch some of the Premier League and Football League's lesser lights give it their best shot.
For what it's worth (which is nothing), I'd like Arsenal to win to remove some of the '5 years without a trophy' pressure on Arsene Wenger, but if I was a betting man I'd be looking towards Old Trafford.
Alex Ferguson's men have the chance to be only the second team to win the League Cup three years in a row. The first to do it? Liverpool. Not like there's any rivalry or motivation there then...
