Liverpool in the carling cup final on Sunday, this is the first time Liverpool are going to be playing in the new Wembley.We hope that they are going to make the most of it by winning the cup. Cardiff City are not going to be too easy, because you can never underestimate anyone in cup competition. My prediction. Cardiff 1:3 Liverpool. Other fixtures and predictions Saturday 25 Feb.

Lawro's verdic. Cardiff 1:2 Liverpool. Cardiff City v Liverpool Dalglish is hoping to win his first trophy in his second spell as Liverpool boss I remember previewing last season's Carling Cup final between Birmingham and Arsenal and you just knew Birmingham would stick five across the middle and play with a lone striker to make it extremely difficult for Arsenal. But we were all just sat there thinking Arsenal would still win. It was the strangest of games because you just thought one mistake would decide it, and lo and behold it was an Arsenal mistake that gifted Obafemi Martins the winner. I am not sure Cardiff will be able to approach this game the same way. They will probably leave Kenny Miller on his own up front and retreat into midfield because that is what most underdogs would do, but I am curious to see what their tactics will be. They are a good footballing team, and are not particularly good defensively. Birmingham used attrition to overcome Arsenal, and that is not Cardiff's style. They will have to play their football to beat Liverpool too. I am at Wembley on Sunday and see Liverpool as heavy favourites. I would expect them to win but I think it will be very tight. Prediction: 1-2
