Liverpool, who have won the League Cup competition a record seven times, are seeking their first trophy in six years and are now favourites to advance to the final against Championship opponents Crystal Palace or Cardiff.
Steven Gerrard's 13th minute penalty handed Liverpool an important advantage in their League Cup semi-final with Manchester City as the visitors came away from Eastlands with a 1-0 first leg lead after City's back-up centre-half Stefan Savic had clearly brought down Daniel Agger at a corner.
Given the negative publicity Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and his club have been forced to endure over their handling of the Luis Suarez racism case, victory at a ground where they were beaten 3-0 by the Premier League leaders just eight days earlier, could not have come at a better time.
