Manchester City have won the EFL Cup six times since 2014 and there is nothing to suggest that Pep Guardiola won't want to extend that record in 2023.
In Chelsea, however, City have been handed an extremely tough opener, even though the visitors are going through a sticky spell of results. The sub plot is, of course, the return to the Etihad of Raheem Sterling, who now plies his trade in west London.
City are a very short 9/20 with Betfred to win this game in 90 minutes while Chelsea are 18/5 to overcome this giant hurdle and go into the hat for the fourth round.
