Tonight, Newcastle United and Manchester City will face off in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup in a big matchup. As the "Four Champions", Man City regretted their loss in last season's EFL Cup. This season, they are gaining momentum and seem to be aiming to win all the honors. In comparison, Newcastle United is not able to do anything in the multi-line battles, and in the last 9 meetings, Man City won 8 and drew 1, which is an absolute advantage, so this time, Man City is undoubtedly more optimistic about the opening of the draw handicap. (Thursday, 3:00 a.m., passionate battle!)
After winning the Premier League, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League last season, Manchester City won the UEFA Cup in August, making it the "Quadruple Crown" of Europe. Although this tournament may seem insignificant in the eyes of the strongest teams, but Manchester City is very fond of this honor. From 2014 to 2021, they won the competition six times, demonstrating their dominance.
The reason why the "Blue Moon" is doing so well in the EFL Cup is due to the high quality of their squad. Under Pep Guardiola's strict requirements, they are able to maintain a very high level of competition even when they rotate their squad. In addition, they have signed new players such as Shelly Meduja, Gavito and Mathias Nunes this summer, which has further intensified the competition for starting positions, and the players will definitely give their best in order to compete for the chance to play.
