Not a bad prediction so far... Just need Chelsea to sort Liverpool out now for me to be 100% correct (as usual)

If Liverpool win, then it will be very to similar to the 4 that reached the semis of the equivalent women's competition - the Premier League cup.

The 4 in the semis were Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal and Watford (Spurs don't have a women's team).

Yes - we just are waiting on the Pool v Chel game Wink

I know it's a bit OT, but it's a bit surprising that the women's and men's semis might be very similar.

But women just play one leg. I was hoping there'd be a game in merseyside to pick from, but both were away - and a longer drive for me Crying or Very sad

But - we could play Everton (or Pool if they get through), and have a leg on Merseyside.
And they won't charge rip-off prices.

The cheapest I could have got at Blackburn today was £20 - and look how empty the ground was.

If it had been at the Emirates it would have been no more than £10 - ground would have been pretty full too.

Wenger Predicts North London Cup Semi Final Arséne Wenger has revealed that he thinks that Arsenal will be drawn against north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the semi final of the Carling Cup.


The Gunners boss said that he would not be surprised if there was a repeat of last season's showdown, which his side won to reach the final at Wembley.

After defeating Spurs last term, Arsenal were beaten by Chelsea and Wenger wants to avenge that defeat by going all the way and lifting the trophy this time around.

"Now we want to finish the job,” Wenger said. “We got a taste of the final last year and now we are in the semi-final again so that shows that it was not a coincidence last year.

"We will have two big games now and it will cost a lot of energy. We will see who we get. Last year we got Tottenham and it won't be a surprise if we get them again."

Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night in extra time after being seeing their opponents come from two goals down to draw level, while Tottenham won at Manchester City.

In the semi final last term, it was the Gunners who made up a two-goal deficit at White Hart Lane to earn a draw before winning the second leg at the Emirates.
