The most recent encounter between Manchester City and Manchester United was a high-scoring Premier League fixture played at Old Trafford earlier in the season that saw United prevail 4-3 over its visitors.
Man United are the current holders of the carling cup and need to turn around a 2-1 defeat from the 1st leg. Match odds have Man United at 4/6 and City are 9/2.
United go into the clash in confident mood after returning to the top of the Barclays Premier League with a Wayne Rooney-inspired 4-0 win over Hull City on Saturday. Sir Alex's squad is also in peak physical condition and boosted by Rio Ferdinand's return in defence.
This is a tough match to call. While City’s home football betting record deserves respect, the close proximity of Old Trafford means that United is likely to enjoy fairly substantial crowd support during this match. Furthermore, United is the team most capable of putting an end to City’s sterling home record.
