My tip: Win for Liverpool

Only eight days after city centre has celebrated a 3:0 home win in the Premiership, these two teams will measure its strengths and to be more precise in the context of the semi-final of the Carling cup again. Since within 14 days the return match is also played in Liverpool, this will become their third duel in very short time. Unlike the championship match we expect no such easy work for the "Citizens" this time, since they are filled with consternation a little by the Elimination from the FA cup on the part of the town rival United. Also Liverpool probably has learned its lesson and will know how surely to employ it on the Wednesday evening better. The "Reds" have remained undefeated in the two meetings with city centre by the way last year while in their direct duels mainly draws have dominated in front of that. The beginning: 11.01.2012. - 20:45

Has been thinking exactly like us, the current leader of the Premiership has not managed in the Sunday meeting of the FA cup against the town rival to play like in the championship when it has defeated him with even 6:1. But we must say that they have not disgraced themselves in this match either, since they have played company without the closed one since the 10th minute. But also besides this courageous game this one they have not been able to catch up with the minus of three goals until end and the meeting ended with the victory "talk Devils" of 3:2. This means automatically that the "Citizens" in this season still fights for three have trophy and to be more precise in the Europe League's, the Premiership and Carling cup, where they somehow are the best up till now since they have already come up to the semi-final. A very difficult task waits for them but now since probably be and them be there in the next season in Europe, everything given competition is the only opportunity for the "Reds" this to offer resistance better in this match than eight days ago in the championship. Is entitled to the coach Mancini unlike this match this one was not suspending inside defenders company at disposal now, exactly like him injured go-getters Dzeko and the brothers Toure, these are with their national championship of the Ivory Coast at the preparations for the African championship. But on the other hand midfield players Barry and go-getters Balotelli come back into the team and will play from the first minute exactly like Zabaleta, Clichy and Savic as well as goalkeeper Hart, at the meeting these have remained United at the bench.

Expected list city centre: Hard - Zabaleta, Savic, Lescott, Clichy - de Yong, Barry - Milner, Silva, Aguero - Balotelli

After the championship defeat already mentioned against the "Citizens" with which its series was completed of three victories and two draws the footballers of Liverpool have had a rather easy work in the third round of the FA cup. You then have the Drittligisten Oldham on a land of one's own received and him with 5:1 deklassiert. But also this match could not go through without turbulences since the guests first have led. But having the much better hosts switched a gear more highly and turned everything in a favour of their own in short time in the further course. There a terrific opportunity for coaches has been for Dalglish also to convince oneself of the short-term form of the midfield players Gerhard and Spearing who have not been long time because of injuries. You, however, have mastered their work excellently and probably will play against city centre from the first minute primarily since injured Lucas is not in the competition while Downing also is standing because of certain private problems under pressure. This one is not suspended Suarez in the attack either. The young Carroll probably will take his place while there should not be any changes only in the last row even if even three goals against own team have collected the the same four players cited purely, recently in the championship against city centre of goalkeeper.

Expected list Liverpool: Reina - Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique - Adam, Spearing - Henderson, Gerhard, Bellamy - Carroll

After the defeat in the third round of the FA cup against the town rival United it is questionable, whether the current table leader had time to recover for this semi-final game of the Carling cup against another big rival, Liverpool FC which has already conquered the Niedrigligisten Oldham with a composite crew on Friday, at all. Game correspondingly a goal poor straight and also because of the fact that the return match at the Canfield Road will take place in two weeks we expect an a little quiet and restrained in this first leg therefore.
