Manchester City can once again reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals tonight with a win away at Southampton.
Even amid all of their Premier League success. Pep Guardiola’s side have become synonymous with the competition since his landing in England, lifting the trophy on four separate occasions since 2018. Dethroned last season, City look favourites to win it again this time around.
In fantastic form and with holders Liverpool and Premier League leaders Arsenal knocked out, it’d be brave to bet against them.

Saints, meanwhile, got their first win under new manager Nathan Jones against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup on Saturday but remain unconvincing. The former Luton boss is yet to convince supporters, who were heard to have criticised his brand of football at Selhurst Park. Still, a shock win against City would be some way into building support.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The Carabao Cup quarter-final is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off today, Wednesday 11 January, 2023.
