Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez suggested Pep Guardiola's side aren't prioritising Carabao Cup success over other competitions despite eliminating holders Liverpool from the competition.
Both teams picked teams with a blend of youth and experience, with academy talents Cole Palmer and Rico Lewis starting for City. Erling Haaland and Nathan Ake scored either side of an effort from Algeria international Mahrez, with goals from Fabio Carvalho and Mohamed Salah not enough for Jurgen Klopp's visitors.
City will face Southampton in the next round, after Nathan Jones' side came from behind to eliminate Lincoln City. However, with Guardiola's men still gunning for glory in other competitions, Mahrez admitted this cup isn't their biggest priority.
