The last four of the EFL Cup will be held at Wembley Stadium in London tonight, where Manchester City and Saffy United will face off against each other. Despite the huge difference in strength between the two sides, Man City is expected to win the Cup, but we need to be careful that the "Blue Moon" may save their strength for the "Battle of the Throne" against Arsenal next mid-week after the UEFA Europa League matches. Siffield United, aware of their own shortcomings, will adopt the "bus tactics" to defend, and may be able to win a median of 3.5 goals less.
Manchester City's recent schedule is tight, and their last match against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League last 8 was a very physical battle, but fortunately they remained undefeated and progressed to the quarterfinals. In view of the short period of consecutive matches, the leader of the team Godiona may rotate the lineup, especially in view of the next mid-week league against Arsenal, this game seems to be slightly secondary to the EFL Cup, it is expected to slow down the pace of the game, and strive to win the game, do not need to be over-exhausted. As a matter of fact, Gordiona has always favored his starters, and after taking the lead, he tends to replace scorer Aynin Xalant in the second half, and this game is expected to be the same, showing a pattern of small wins.
Siffield United's Conservative Strategy
Siffield United are currently second in the Championship, and the team's primary goal is to secure the top two places in the league and compete for promotion, while the EFL Cup final is not the primary goal. As a result, the team's strategy has been relatively conservative in recent matches, with 4 out of the last 5 matches having a total of less than 2 goals. Siffield United knows that their strength is far from City's, and they are not capable of hard fighting. The most reasonable way is to adopt "dead defense blitz", and even hope to defend and get each other to shoot 12 yards, in order to have the possibility of a cold spell. It is worth paying attention to is that the two sides in the past 3 years, 3 times, Manchester City are 1-0 win, the home win is not in doubt, the number of goals is more secure.
