Carling Cup: Chelsea small favourite against Everton, second-leg odds On Wednesday punters from around the world will be able to enjoy the Carling Cup second leg semi-final game between Everton and Chelsea. Everton will attempt to recover from 2-1 loss in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-finals, but a few questionable players worry the odds makers and Chelsea is a small favourite entering Goodison Park on Wednesday. At the British licensed online bookmaker Bet 365, the odds on Chelsea to win the game tomorrow are posted at 2.50 (6/4) and Everton will be the underdog of the Carling Cup semi-final with odds 2.80 (9/5) at the bookie. A draw will bring 3.25 (9/4) times the bet to the punters.

At Everton Andrew Johnson, Leon Osman, Tony Hibbert and Manuel Fernandes will all undergo fitness tests tomorrow to determine whether they will be available to feature in the Carling Cup semi-final, second leg. Johnson and Osman played against Wigan last Sunday, and have the best chances of the four to play in the Carling Cup match on Wednesday. But the situation with Chelsea looks grim, as well, with Frank Lampard joining skipper John Terry and striker Andriy Shevchenko on Chelsea's injury-list, after aggravating his thigh problem in training. According to reports, Shaun Wright-Phillips, who has some ankle problems, will play the Carling Cup semi-final game against Everton on Wednesday.
