Carling Cup final betting preview

Most clubs in England don't stick this competition at the very top of their list of priorities for the season. Nevertheless, it is still a historic occasion, especially for Aston Villa, as they will be making their first appearance in a domestic cup final for the first time in nearly a decade. Their previous final appearance was a losing one in the 1999-2000 FA Cup final back at the old Wembley. However, Villa's last taste of cup success was back in 1996 when Aston Villa won this very competition beating Leeds United 3-0 in the final.
