Liverpool Red Hot For Carling Cup Glory

Liverpool squeaked through into the final of the Carling Cup and unsurprisingly, the Reds are hot favourites to bring the trophy back to Anfield. William Hill make Kenny Dalglish’s men 1/7 to lift the trophy and 2/5 to win the final in 90 minutes. Cardiff are the outsiders and they are 4/1 to lift the trophy and 13/2 to win in 90 minutes. Hills think that Liverpool are such favourites that they have already started taking bets on how many goals Liverpool score on the day and make one the 15/8 favourite although they are 5/2 to score three or more on the day while Cardiff are 4/6 to score no goals.

“Whoever won between Liverpool and Manchester City were always going to be favourites to lift the Cup and we think the cup engraver may as well start practicing writing Liverpool now,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll found himself on the bench against City tonight and William Hill make him 5/6 to fail to start against Manchester United at the weekend.

Carling Cup Specials…when Will Carroll Score?

Manchester City face Liverpool in the Carling Cup with a one goal deficit and William Hill make them 2/1 to qualify for the final, Liverpool are 2/5 and in the driving seat. The only goal at the Etihad was a penalty scored by Steven Gerrard and Hills offer 3/1 that a penalty is awarded during the match. Manchester City are 7/1 to win after extra time while Liverpool are 14/1. After winning their match against Spurs in added time on Sunday, Hills offer 16/1 that an injury time goal settles the tie.

“The previous match between these two was hardly a classic and both sides will want to avoid any early mistakes,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It is quite possible that this one could go down to the wire.”

Andy Carroll and Edin Dzeko are struggling for goals at the moment and William Hill are offering 12/5 that either one of the misfiring strikers nets the first goal, while 6/1 is available for them both to find the net at anytime during the match. Andy Carroll has scored just the one goal since Luis Suarez started his ban and William Hill offer 11/8 that he fails to score in the remaining three matches of Suarez’s absence. He is 5/4 to score one, 7/2 two, 8/1 three and 10/1 four or more.

90 minutes betting: 7/4 Liverpool; 9/5 Manchester City; 19/10 Draw

To Qualify: 2/1 Manchester City; 2/5 Liverpool

3/1 Penalty to be awarded during the match

Carroll or Dzeko to score first: 12/5

Carroll and Dzeko to score anytime: 6/1

*Must start vs Manchester City and fixtures played in above order

6/4 For King Kenny To Abdicate Before The Start Of Next Season!

Andy Carroll suffered another tough day at the office and William Hill are offering 7/4 that he fails to score in the next four games, although he is 6/4 to score against Manchester City in the Carling Cup. Having seemed like an almost certainty to be part of the England squad for Euro 2012, Hills are now offering 5/6 that Carroll fails to make the cut. Kenny Dalglish is also suffering at the moment as Liverpool are suffering a tough time of it and Hills make him 6/4 to no longer be boss on the first day of next season.

“There is no doubt that Liverpool are struggling at the moment and Dalglish is 25/1 to be the next Premier League manager to go and he is just 6/4 to have left the position by the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bolton Wanderers surprised Liverpool but remain embroiled in a relegation battle and William Hill make the8/11 to go down, with Wigan the 2/9 favourites and Blackburn 4/5. Hills also offer 11/4 that all three of the troubled North-West sides (Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan) are relegated together.

William Hill odds:

Kenny Dalglish to be Liverpool boss on 1st day of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Andy Carroll to make England’s Euro 2012 squad: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

When will Andy Carroll score next: 6/4 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Wolves; 6/1 Tottenham; 7/4 None of these matches

Premier League relegation: 2/9 Wigan; 8/11 Bolton; 4/5 Blackburn; 10/11 Wolves; 7/4 QPR; 13/2 Swansea; 10/1 BAR

Premier League outright: 1/2 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 10/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Chelsea; 80/1 BAR

Third Premier League manager to leave their job: 2/1 Mick McCarthy; 11/4 Steve Kean; 7/2 Owen Coyle; 11/2 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No Manager to leave; 9/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 BAR

Palace 10/1 For Carling Cup Glory On Bad British Night In Europe

Manchester United were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Cup by 7/1 (price to qualify) Crystal Palace and The Eagles are 10/1 to win the Cup with William Hill and 5/4 to qualify from their Semi Final against Cardiff (who are 4/7 to reach Wembley). Manchester City are clear favourites to win the tournament at 5/6 ahead of their Semi Final opponents Liverpool at 6/4.

“With one Championship side guaranteed to be in the Final at Wembley, the two legged Semi between Palace and Cardiff will be an undoubtedly dogged encounter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We do think, however, that whoever wins the other Semi will be in with a fantastic chance of lifting the first Silverware of the year.”

A Tottenham defeat was the culmination for a poor night of British football in the Europa League and their odds of winning the competition have drifted from 9/1 to 20/1 to win the competition. Birmingham and Celtic have also drifted from 50/1 to 100/1 (Birmingham) and 100/1 to 125/1(Celtic). All eyes now turn to the two sides who are playing on Thursday to carry the torch for British football with Stoke the Even money favourites to progress furthest of all the Home Nations sides with Fulham the 15/8 second favourites. Spurs are 7/2 with Birmingham 16/1 and Celtic 20/1.

British Side to progress furthest: 1/1 Stoke; 15/8 Fulham; 7/2 Tottenham; 16/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Celtic

Europa League Winner: 10/1 PSG; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 14/1 Schalke; 14/1 PSV; 14/1 Athletic Bilbao; 14/1 Sporting Lisbon; 16/1 Stoke; 20/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Lazio; 20/1 Braga; 20/1 Udinese; 25/1 Twente; 25/1 Rubin Kazan; 28/1 Fulham; 33/1 BAR

To qualify

8/15 City v Liverpool 11/8
4/7 Cardiff v Crystal P 5/4

Finalists

11/8 Man C v Cardiff
9/4 Man C v Crystal P
11/4 Liverpool v Cardiff
