Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish hailed his team's "fantastic performance" after they saw off Manchester City to reach the Carling Cup final.
Dalglish's side sealed a 3-2 aggregate win over the Premier League leaders at Anfield on Wednesday night and will go on to face Cardiff at Wembley on 26th February. They are 1.11 to lift the trophy while the Championship side can be backed at 7.00.
For everybody at Liverpool it has been a fantastic evening.

City took the lead through Nigel de Jong but Steven Gerrard levelled from the penalty spot. Edin Dzeko put City ahead once more before former City player Craig Bellamy capped an outstanding individual performance with a fine finish.
"The boys were magnificent tonight and deserve a great deal of credit, and everybody in the squad has helped us get through," said Dalglish.
"The supporters were magnificent and it is a great reward for them and the loyalty they have shown us, so for everybody at Liverpool it has been a fantastic evening."
Liverpool captain Gerrard is delighted to have finally made it to Wembley, six years after they last reached a major domestic final, and 16 years after they last played at the national stadium.
"It's been too long for a major cup final for this club so I'm really happy for our supporters," he said.
"We had a lot of cup finals at Cardiff, but it's extra special going to Wembley."
