Carling Cup Final Betting

Birmingham are top price 3/1 to win the Carling Cup after an extra-time victory over West Ham.

Second half goals from Lee Bowyer and Roger Johnson brought the game back to 2-1 and all square on aggregate. It was left to boyhood Birmingham fan Craig Gardner to score the extra-time goal that took his team to a first major Wembley final in 55 years.

It is worth remembering Birmingham City did reach the 2001 Worthing Cup Final where they lost on penalties to Liverpool in Cardiff. This time at Wembley they face Arsenal who are a best priced 2/7 with Paddypower to lift the trophy.
