Live on Skysports 1: Tue 19.45: Liverpool are 4/9 (BetVictor) to reach the Carling Cup final and the 2nd leg against Man City could be a draw (12/5)
Liverpool’s Etihad Stadium smash-and-grab has put them firmly in the driving seat with regards to their Carling Cup semi-final tie against Manchester City and holding a 1-0 lead ahead of the second leg at Anfield, the Reds are now BetVictor’s 4/9 favourites to qualify for the final.
Obviously the league leaders have the ability to overturn the deficit but their need to get on the scoresheet should play into the hands of Kenny Dalglish’s troops, who are adept at keeping things tight and can nick at least a goal at the other end.
William Hill offer 7/4 for Liverpool to win the match in 90 minutes and also price a City success in normal time at 9/5 but it could finish all square on Merseyside, where bwin offer a draw at 12/5 and it’s 6/1 (Totesport) to finish one-each.
Elsewhere, it’s a safe-looking 5/6 courtesy of Ladbrokes for both teams to get on the scoresheet and Paddy Power rate controversial striker Mario Balotelli at 23/10 to find the net at any stage.
Recommended Bets:
Liverpool and Man City to draw 1-1 – 6/1 (Totesport)
