A brace from Eden Dzeko, and goals from Adam Johnson, Samir Nasri and an own goal from Dorus De Vries saw Manchester City through to the Quarter-Finals and are now 5/2 favourites to lift the trophy in February.
The match was a warm up for their Premier League clash on Saturday although who will play on Saturday from tonights line-up will remain to be seen but it showed the strength in depth Roberto Mancini has and proves he is highly unlikely to miss wantaway striker Carlos Tevez.
It was Wolves who took the lead in the 18th minute when Nenad Milijas scored before Manchester City took total control and went into a 5-1 lead before Jamie O'Hara's 65th minute goal completed the scoring.
In front of only 12,436 both sides were evenly matched with Wolves startung the brighter of the two sides but Mick McCarthy's men just couldn't handle the pace and finese City had on offer and the away fans that made the journey to Wolverhampton will be looking forward to the league encounter at the weekend when the "big guns" are given a run out.
This could be the season where City dominate. They have scored 15 goals in their last 3 matches and are five points clear at the top of the Premier League and with a Quarter-Final place in the Carling Cup guaranteed there could be a celebrations galore at Eastlands and if they can transfer theiur league form into the Champions League could they really win the quadruple this season? 812/1 says they can. Worth a quid?
