ARSENAL VS LIVERPOOL CARLING CUP BETTING TIPS
It seems as though Liverpool's newest signing Alberto Aquilani will actually get some playing time with the first team today as his side hope to build on their weekend victory over Manchester United by knocking Arsenal out of the Carling Cup. This is easily the tastiest fixture of the mid-week matches and it seems a bit of a toss-up, meaning that we'll have good odds all around. Stan James is listing Arsenal as 2.0 favourites with Liverpool available at a very juicy 3.75. The draw pays 3.4 and I expect Reds fans to jump all over that price. In terms of outright qualification, Arsenal are at 1.57 and Liverpool are at 2.25. The prices quoted above are for the 90 minute market. If you're looking at correct score betting, the lowest-priced option is the 1-1 draw while 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1 to Liverpool pays out at 8.0. A 1-0 margin to Liverpool pays 9.0 while a 2-0 win garners a large 17.0. A 2-1 victory is listed at 13.0. Arsenal fans looking for a bit of extra value should check out the Arsenal (-1.0) handicap that pays out at 4.0. Alberto Aquilani is listed at 4.5 to score anytime for Liverpool and he is also available at 13.0 to score first or last. Fernando Torres is at 2.38 to score anytime whiel Steven Gerrard is just behind him at 2.88. Keep your eyes always on Yossi Benayoun who is listed at 3.25 alongside Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel and Andriy Voronin.My scorecast selection for this match is Torres/2-1 Liverpool @ 49.0.
