ARSENAL-BIRMINGHAM CITY FOR CARLING CUP FINAL

Arsenal and Birmingham both trail their League Cup semi-finals by a single goal after their away defeats.But I expect both to win their second legs at home.Then they would meet in the Carling Cup final at Wembley.Birmingham's Ben Foster made a rare mistake at Upton Park to give the Hammers a 2-1 scoreline.But the Blues are extremely difficult to beat at home.They don't score many goals but although West Ham notched a couple there earlier this season I expect Alex McLeish to be successful.Arsene Wenger's team whatever it is will be too strong for the Championship team Ipswich at the Emeriates.A 1-nil deficit is not asking much to turn around.Wenger has not won a trophy for five long years and the Carling Cup would be a start.
