The Carling Cup has gained great respect in recent years with its pathway into Europa League territory, although sometimes it can be tough to recognise some of the names on the team sheet as the youngsters are given a run out. “You can’t win anything with kids” Liverpool legend Alan Hansen once remarked after a youthful Manchester United team lost 3-1 to Aston Villa on the opening day of the Premier League season in 1995. The team consisted of David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary Neville who later that season would be both league and cup winners!

So let’s give the kids a chance, as this week there are two mouth-watering Carling Cup quarter final matches being streamed at Unibet – you can watch and bet on all of the action between Chelsea v Liverpool and Arsenal v Man City!

Chelsea and Liverpool met just last weekend in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge with Liverpool edging the contest 2-1 thanks to a late winner from Glen Johnson. They are 4.75 to win again in a season full of inconsistencies as in the last few weeks they could only manage a 0-0 draw at home against Swansea and lost 1-0 away to Norwich. The same can be said of Chelsea who despite being 1.72 to win at home have also shown form that includes a 1-0 loss against London rivals QPR and a defensive shambles in a 5-3 defeat at home to Arsenal.

“The Gunners” have been in excellent form recently aided by the red hot goalscoring exploits of Robin Van Persie. They now face an incredibly tough challenge against league leaders Manchester City who have the strength in depth to be able to rotate their squad and still have a starting line up if immense quality. City are 2.40 to win at the Emirates whilst Arsenal who are almost certain to rest their key goalscoring talisman are 2.75!
