Liverpool Favourites to Win Carling Cup


23 January 2012 by Barrie | Football Betting Expert

Heading into the second legs of Tuesday and Wednesday’s Carling Cup semi finals, Liverpool are the bookmakers favourites, with Bet365 offering the best price at 4/6.

Kenny Dalglish’s side took a 1-0 win away from the Etihad Stadium through a Steven Gerrard first half penalty.

Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City have beaten Liverpool 3-0 in the Premier League since and go to Anfield on Wednesday night as 5/2 second favourites to lift the Carling Cup this year.

On Tuesday, Cardiff will try to turn a 1-0 deficit around against Crystal Palace at their Cardiff City Stadium. The Bluebirds are 11/1 longshots to lift the English League Cup, whilst Crystal Palace are only just shorter at 10/1 thanks to Anthony Gardner’s goal in the first leg.

Neither Liverpool or Crystal Palace have played at the new Wembley since it was re-opened in 2007.
