(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 24, 2012 ) London, UK -- Liverpool will reach the Carling Cup final by holding Manchester City to a draw in their Carling Cup Semi Final Second Leg clash at Anfield on Wednesday night according to free bet website writer David Walker.
Liverpool have a narrow advantage heading into the second leg after they beat Manchester City 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium two weeks ago.
FreeBetSite.com predicted Steven Gerrard to score during the match, citing a possible penalty and the England international duly obliged from the spot to give Kenny Dalglish's side a one-goal cushion.
Manchester City go into the second leg after beating Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday. City cruised into a 2-0 lead but Spurs pegged them back to 2-2 before a late Mario Balotelli penalty rewarded Roberto Mancini's side with all three points.
Liverpool saw their chances of finishing in the top four fade after they crashed 3-1 at struggling Bolton Wanderers, a result which lifted Owen Coyle's team out of the bottom three.
City will be without Vincent Kompany, who serves the last of his four match suspension.
“City may top the Premier League but they have it all to do on Wednesday night” said Walker, “we won't see the same performance from Liverpool as we did on Saturday”.
“Liverpool are a solid team in the League Cup and have failed to score just once in 43 matches in this competition. With City looking shaky in defence without Kompany, that run could well continue."
“Add to that statistic City have not beaten Liverpool at Anfield in nine years then you get the feeling it may not be Mancini's night” added Walker.
