Man City v Man Utd Carling Cup Semi - Final First Leg Odds

Manchester City go into this re-arranged Carling Cup Semi Final First Leg at Eastlands as favourites to take a lead to Old Trafford for the Second Leg in a weeks time. However, it is United who are odds on favourites to qualify for the Final in March over the two legs.

For this First Leg, City are 6/4 with VC Bet, while United are a best price to win this match of 2/1 with skybet. The draw can be backed at 23/10 with Totesport.

The match will give new City boss, Roberto Mancini his first taste of a Manchester ‘derby' and it will be a match that he will no doubt want to win. City have not won a major trophy since 1976 and the lifting of the Carling Cup will be the equivalent of lifting a great chip off the City shoulders and would continue the great start of four wins in five starts for Mancini at the club.

Therefore City fans can expect that to see Mancini put out his strongest possible team, although it is already known that they will be without, Adebayor and Toure who are on Africa Cup duty plus Bridge, Johnson and Lescott who are out with knee injuries. There are doubts too regarding the fitness of Ireland, Santa Cruz, Richards and Wright-Phillips. The goal scoring mantel it seems will therefore lie in the hands of Craig Bellamy, Carlos Tevez and Robhino. In fact Tevez is the 15/8 favourite with bet365. to be on the scoresheet in this match and he is a 6/1 shot, also with the same bookmakers, to open the scoring.

After their shock exit from the FA Cup against League One side, Leeds, earlier this month, Sir Alex Ferguson, is likely to insist on a top performance from his team who answered his half time team talk the other day by scoring three second half goals against Burnley in the Premier League. The big question on everyone's lips is whether or not he will include Michael Owen after his appalling late ‘miss' against Leeds, that would have earned United a replay? That said, Owen is a 12/5 chance with Skybet to get a goal in this match.

We think that United will show their true character in this match and will come away with at least a draw; we therefore offer the following Correct Score betting options:

• 1-1 Draw – 6/1 with Skybet.
• 0-0 Draw – 10/1 with William Hill.
• 2-2 Draw – 14/1 with Ladbrokes
