It's sometimes claimed that the League Cup doesn't matter. The big clubs only care about the Premiership, the Champions League and the FA Cup.

Anybody watching this year's semi-finals in which Cardiff CIty beat Crystal Palace on penalties and Liverpool saw off Manchester CIty, would know that's not right.

For Liverpool, it's their first Wembley final since 1996.They wimply must win it. For Cardiff City, it's one of the biggest days in the club's history. Every fan will want to be there.

Can the team from South Wales upset the odds? Of course they can. In 2011, Birmingham City pulled off an unlikely 2-1 win against Arsenal, becoming the 7th team to raise the Cup in the past 10 years.

But this year Liverpool are massive favourites. The bookies make them 1/5 with Cardiff best priced at 9/2.
