a return trip to Wembley for the final, having already secured the Carling Cup earlier in the season, but their rivals are likely to prove fierce opponents and Everton look the team to be with.Nobody can doubt Liverpool’s recent cup pedigree but Kenny Dalglish’s team continue in terrible form, there was little to like about their 3-2 win over beleaguered Blackburn in midweek, and I remain happy to oppose them.Having slumped to their current position of eighth in the Premier League as a result of only three top flight wins in 2012, Dalglish has come under plenty of pressure to turn around the fortunes of his misfiring side but a renaissance appears a long way off and, in Everton, face a team very much upwardly mobile.The Toffees, now a point ahead of their near neighbours despite a troubled first half to their season,Nike Free Run 3 Men, have won nine of their previous 15 matches and a 2-0 replay win at the Stadium of Light over Sunderland in the quarter-finals of this competition was very impressive.Everton’s strength has always been defensively,Nike Free 3.0 V4 Women, they have kept clean sheets in four of their last five fixtures, all victories, but the goals have started to flow,Free Run 4 Women All Orange, too,Free Run 3 Coral, and one could be enough to get the better of Liverpool given the Reds’ lack of attacking threat.At 2.00, I want to be with Everton to qualify but I’ll also be backing Moyes’ boys to win to nil. That looks a much more likely scenario than SkyBet’s 5.00 suggests and it could prove a memorable afternoon for the blue half of Merseyside.2pts Back Everton To Qualify (vs. Liverpool) @ 2.00 (Various)1pt Back Everton To Win To Nil (vs. Liverpool) @ 5.00 (Sky Bet)
Preview: Deccan Chargers v Mumbai IndiansThe Indian Premier League action will enter its second week tomorrow with a match between IPL 2 winners Deccan Chargers and Champions League T20 champions Mumbai Indians.The two teams will go head-to-head after facing defeat in their previous games respectively. The Chargers lost their first game of the season against defending champions Chennai Super Kings on Saturday,Nike Free 5.0+ Womens Black Grey, while Mumbai were defeated by Pune Warriors thanks to skipper Sourav Ganguly’s good tactics.Mumbai Indians have had a change in leadership this season as Harbhajan Singh is leading the side owned by Reliance’s Mukesh Ambani after Sachin Tendulkar decided to step down from the responsibility. Harbhajan did well in the opening game against CSK but failed completely in front of Ganguly’s tactical thinking against Pune.The Indians have performed in a decent manner in the two matches played so far but lacked the killer instinct from their bowling department. If they are to get back to winning ways by handing a second consecutive defeat to the Chargers, a lot of things will rely on the bowling performance of Lasith Malinga. Sachin Tendulkar did not play against Pune due to injury and still remains doubtful for the next few games.On the other side, Deccan Chargers have played just one game so far which ended in a 74-run defeat to CSK. The Chargers have a good bowling attack including South African paceman Dale Stey
