However, there was no luck or fortune about Liverpool's 1-0 win at the Etihad Stadium, even although the only goal of the game came via a penalty kick.Kenny Dalglish simply got his tactics right against a City side that struggled to cope without Vincent Kompany, Kolo Toure and Yaya Toure. The same three players will also be missing for the Carling Cup semi final second leg on Wednesday and that means that Manchester City will once again have problems in defence. Stefan Savic is not a bad player but the 21-year-old is very raw and, unfortunately, seems to have every one of his mistakes punished by a goal. That was once again the case against Spurs on Sunday and the Montengran must be short on confidence.Savic will be up against Craig Bellamy, who is a handful for even the best defenders in the world, and Andy Carroll, who isn't, but it is the midfield runs of Steven Gerrard and Maxi Rodriguez which could decide Wednesday's game. The former scored the only goal of the game in the first leg a fortnight ago and he is surely going to be a key player for Liverpool over the second half of the season. It is 7/1 that Gerrard opens the scoring and that could be a good price on a player that may be asked to play as a second striker on Wednesday.Manchester City put in a huge effort to beat Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and it is likely that Roberto Mancini will have prioritised that Premier League win over Wednesday's Carling Cup tie. He may, therefore, give Sergio Aguero and David Silva an evening off, which could lead to a lack of invention in the away attack. Mario Balotelli will play but the Italian, who is 6/1 to open the scoring, is often a disappointment in evening matches under floodlights and he lasted just half an hour of the first leg before being substituted.City need to win to qualify for the final of the Carling Cup and the pressure of that may be too much for the visitors at Anfield. It is 17/10 that they beat Liverpool but one would fancy the Reds can hang onto their one goal lead and claim at least a draw (9/4). Backing Liverpool on the 'draw no bet' option at 5/6 or simply 'to qualify' at 2/5 is probably the best way to secure profits.RecommendationDraw No Bet - Liverpool (5/6, bet365) Read our Bet365 review Get your £200 free bet at bet365 now Like Like Post to wall 241 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Carling Cup 2012-13 betting - Liverpool FC 9/1 to retain Carling Cup26 Feb 2012Liverpool are 11/4 to add this season's FA Cup to their Carling Cup trophy won on Sunday at Wembley.
