Carling Cup 3rd Round
22 September 2009
Arsenal (1.44) Draw (4.5) West Brom (8)
Wenger is famous for putting the youth side out in this competition. They always seem to do well but if you look at it, they are usually knocked out by the first half decent side they meet. West Brom are a decent side. The beat a strong Boro side 5-0 at the weekend and I think a full strength side will be able to beat an Arsenal youth side. There are no guarantees that West Brom will put out their full strength side though. If they do the 8.0 at Betfred will look like bet of the year.
Barnsley (3.1) Draw (3.4) Burnley (2.38)
Last year Burnley did really well in the Carling Cup, giving Spurs a good run and beating Chelsea. This year could be different though. It depends whether Owen Coyle puts out the full strength side like he did last year. Barnsley are a low level Championship side They did get a 2-1 away result against Reading last round so maybe taking this competition a bit more seriously than most. A tricky one best left until the teams are announced.
Carlisle (4.3) Draw (3.6) Portsmouth (1.91)
Portsmouth have had the worst start to the Premier League ever. To me, its inconceivable that they will go to League 1 Carlisle and not win. If Portsmouth would have won 1 and drawn a couple in the league I think they may have gone there with a weakened side but as it is they will want a win under the belt to boost morale. I think the 1.91 at is a decent price at bet365. Carlisle are 17th in League 1.
Leeds (5) Draw (3.75) Liverpool (1.8)
Leeds are flying high in League 1. Only 1 draw and the rest wins. They have something like 15 league home wins a row beating a club record. I think they will be well up for this fixture. Benetiz has never taken this cup seriously. We won't be seeing Gerrard or Torres for sure. Even though the team Liverpool will put out is capable of winning this, I don't think the commitment will be there. Home win is 5.0 at bluesquare
Sunderland (1.83) Draw (3.5) Birmingham (5)
Odds for Sunderland are dropping fast. I guess its because Sunderland are the home side, Steve Bruce and Birmingham don't get on, Sunderland played a strong side last round and Birmingham have a sort of injury crisis. I'll follow the money and back Sunderland at 1.83 at Sky Bet.
