Who won the Most EFL League Cups titles in History

League Cup winners: which club has won the most EFL Cups in competition History

Ever since the creation of the League Cup as it is historically known, 61 years ago, drama has been at its heart. Many finals have produced the most unlikely of outcomes, with the supposedly no-hope minnows overcoming the odds-on top-flight giants. The climaxes of the competition have rarely disappointed, almost always providing fascinating fare for the partisan or neutral fan.

No fewer than 18 of the matches have seen an extra-time period, not all of them - in the days of the replayed final - leading to a decisive outcome. Five replays, one of them a second replay between Aston Villa and Everton in 1977, have been needed to settle the contests; a penalty shoot-out has been required five times. What is more dramatic, more nerve-jangling, than that?

The inaugural final in 1961, between Rotherham United and Aston Villa, set the trend. Not least because it had to be delayed, due to fixture congestion, until the start of the 1961/62 season; and not least because Rotherham took a 2-0 lead from the first leg at Millmoor.

Which team has won the most EFL Cups?
