Manchester United Odds On In Carling Cup Betting Ahead Of Semi Final Draw
Thursday 04 December 2008 at 11:33
 Manchester United are the odds on favourites to win the Carling Cup following their 5-3 win over Blackburn in the Carling Cup Quarter Final. The Semi Final draw takes place at lunchtime on Saturday and there is a chance it could ensure a Championship side plays in the final.
United Are Odds On Despite Priorities Elsewhere
Manchester United can be backed a t a best price of 10/11 with Stan James to win the Carling Cup. Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he will stick with the young side that has got the club this far in the competition. With several stars unlikely to feature in the competition some punters will be thinking twice before taking s short price about United lifting the cup.
Spurs A Good Bet To Retain Trophy
Spurs, the current holders of the competition, are the only other remaining Premiership side left in the Carling Cup and if they are drawn against United on Saturday then the final will be a Premiership side against a Championship side. Spurs have a great chance of retaining the trophy and are a decent bet at 7/4 with Coral.
Will Burnley Kill Yet Another Giant?
Burnley did extremely well to knock out both Chelsea and Arsenal on their way to the semi final and if they are drawn against Derby it is highly likely they will reach the final. Burnley are 12/1 to win the Carling Cup with Bet365 and Ladbrokes and even if they are drawn against one of the Premiership sides, who would bet against them adding another scalp to their list?
are Derby Just Making Up The Numbers?
Derby make up the semi finalists and they are the 14/1 outsiders with Paddy Power and SkyBet. They secured their place in the semi final draw by beating Stoke with a last minute penalty on Tuesday. They have been struggling in the Championship but they are clearly relishing their Carling Cup campaign.
