Arsenal and Man Utd don't treat the Carling Cup very seriously, they play their youngsters. Man Utd may field Ronaldo tonight but i think that's just to get him fit for the Premier League games. Arsenal go after the Premiership and Champions League every year then next is the FA Cup and last is the Carling Cup. Arsenal still get quite far in the Carling Cup as our youngsters usually do very well. Chelsea take the Carling Cup seriously as they want to win whatever trophy and Liverpool will only take it seriously if they get to the late stages of the competition.

For the big clubs they are going to qualify for Europe through the league anyway, so it really doesn't matter whether they are in the League Cup or not. Might as well let the reserves have a run out and let them play in a match or two.
If the reserves can knock out a full first team Prem club, then it shows how strong the club's youth system is, and that the future holds bright.

I'm a Liverpool fan and I'm sure this sunday, we could see a great match... For the issue being Arsenal fielding a reserves side in Carling Cup, I think tat is justifiable given that they have a huge match against the Reds coming up... And by doing that, I think they are giving the Reds respect for making sure their best players will be fresh for the encounter... Carling Cup has already lost some value and most big teams are using it to experiment new formations, testing youngsters and giving fringe players a match...

I think Eveton are more of an insult to the competition when Arsenal youths and reserves can beat the Everton first-team...

The top three don't care about the the League Cup. Why should they? It's a second-string cup competition and an irritation for clubs, particularly those in Europe, in an already congested season.

Who cares... if they are better than the other team its a good thing. My dad is actually friends with one of the trainers of an EPL team... they always liek to keep their young players playing in games to lett them experience game speed every now and again.. best way to develop as a player.
GO ARSENAL... WOOT
