Manchester City head into this Carabao Cup quarter-final in formidable form, with Pep Guardiola's side showing few signs of slowing down across competitions. Sunday's 3-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace marked their fifth consecutive win in all competitions and reinforced their growing momentum at a crucial stage of the season, Softfootball reports.
This is City's first appearance at this stage of the competition since the 2023, and having lifted the trophy eight times in their history, expectations remain high at the Etihad Stadium.
Their route to the last eight has been relatively straightforward, dispatching Huddersfield 2-0 before seeing off Swansea 3-1. Confidence is further boosted by their impressive 2-1 UEFA Champions League victory away at Real Madrid last week , a result that underlined their ability to perform on the biggest stages. City have also made the Etihad a fortress in this competition, winning each of their last five Carabao Cup home games, and they will be keen to extend that run as they chase another domestic trophy.
