Aston Villa, our tip for the Carling Cup back in September, still look over priced for the competition at 4.3 (10/3) with Corals. The Barking boys have opposed Martin O'Neill's side every step of the way on the road to Wembley and they are still out of line. Ladbrokes,the magic sign go 3.25.
Villa are on a great roll at the moment and followed up a win at Old Trafford with a snatch and grab raid at the Stadium of Light. Their semi-final opponents, Blackburn, have struggled without a couple of key players and lost last night to the in form Birmingham City.
Villa will be favourites to go through and on current form might be good enough to win the first leg at Ewood Park. Bet365 make Blackburn the 2.38 (11/8) favs with Villa 2.75 (7/4). In our opinion this will price will go on the build up to the game so you know what to do with any extra Christmas cash. On the day we would expect Villa to be the 2.38 favourites.
