Manchester United Man City Boylesports go short on home side

Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second leg at Old Trafford is about much more than just getting to the Carling Cup final, as pride and bragging rights are also on offer within the city of Manchester.

Boylesports are offering extensive match betting for this encounter between the two Manchester clubs and have installed Man United as the short priced favourites at 4/6. Man City offer excellent value at 4/1, whilst the draw is 11/4.

Man Utd are well on top when it comes to the head-to-head record between the two clubs. There have been a total of 153 competitive meetings between the two sides since the clubs were established with City having won 42 and United having won 62. There have been 49 draws. With Manchester City now carrying the title of the richest club in the world, is the tide of victory in Manchester beginning to turn?

In the last 71 Manchester derby matches played at Old Trafford, Man City have won just 15, which is refelcted in the price for Wednesday night's encounter. They carry the 2-1 aggregate advantage into this match and will be hoping that Carlos Tevez's appetite for destruction against his former club continues to bear fruit.

After scoring twice in the first leg of the semi-final, it's not surprising to see Tevez at short odds of 11/5 to score anytime. More value is available however in the first goalscorer market, where the Argentinian is available at 13/2 to score anytime.

The winners of the tie will face Aston Villa in the Carling Cup final and Martin O'Neill's side are currently the 11/8 favourites to lift the cup. However, this will most definitely change once the result of the Wednesday's derby match has been confirmed. For those of you interested in the early value, you can bet on Man United at 7/4 and Man City at 2/1 to win the Carling Cup at Boylesports.com.

Match Betting:
Man United 4/6
Draw 11/4
Man City 4/1

Carling Cup Outright Betting:
Aston Villa 11/8
Man United 7/4
Man City 2/1
