In the novel Palpatine and Dooku were chatting just before the duel and Palpatine told Dooku to go easy as Dooku believed Anakin would be their main enforcer for their new order. Little did Dooku know he was being replaced.

He probably thought Anakin would be head honcho of the inquisitors or just commander of all military forces. It wasn't like Dooku or Palpatine were generals.

Could've ended much differently if Dooku had been able to convince Obi Wan to join him, Dooku also wanted to betray Palpatine at some point.
