The Carling Cup final is this weekend’s big match as Liverpool face Cardiff City at Wembley. Kenny Dalglish’s side are the 2/5 favourites to win the Cup for the first time since 2003. It’s Cardiff’s first appearance in the League Cup final and the Bluebirds can be backed at 15/2.

It’s FA Cup fourth round weekend and the main match features two of football’s oldest rivals as Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield on Saturday lunchtime. The home side are unbeaten this season in the Premier League but have drawn seven of their eleven games. United seem capable of grinding out results and are 7/4 to make the fifth round. A draw at 11/5 might be the best call.

There are a couple of belting matches to look forward to this weekend as four of this season’s ‘big five’ meet on Sunday.
First up, Manchester City provide the biggest test of Spurs’ Premier League title credentials so far as the two sides meet at Eastlands. It’s arguably the perfect time to be playing City considering they are missing several key players through injury, suspension and international call-ups. Spurs can take a giant stride towards their first league title in decades with a win at 3/1, but I fancy the home side to prevail at 10/11.
Just a few weeks after Roger Federer won the end of season ATP Tour Finals event in London, the 2012 Grand Slam season is upon us.
It’s a very special Australian Open in 2012 as it marks the 100th time the tournament has been played. Can Novak Djokovic continue where he left off in 2011 and retain his crown? And can Serena Williams shake off her injury problems to win three consecutive Australian Opens in which she has featured?

Football
The pressure on Andre Villas Boas increased again this week after Chelsea were knocked out of the Carling Cup and things could get even tougher for the Portuguese manager this weekend. Chelsea travel to high flying Newcastle and the 3/1 about a home win will tempt many.

After Manchester City ended their unbeaten start to the campaign last weekend, Newcastle United face another tough trip this Saturday as they face Manchester United at Old Trafford. The home side haven’t been firing on all cylinders of late but I expect them to win at 4/11.
