Match facts
- The last time these two sides met was in August 2007, with City winning 2-1.
- Bristol, who has eliminated four Premier League sides so far this season, could set a new record for most top-flight clubs eliminated by a lower-league side in a League Cup campaign if they make the final.
- However, the Premier League leader hasn’t been eliminated by a lower league side in the League Cup since Brighton in September 2008.
- The last time the Robins faced a Premier League table-topper was against Newcastle in 1995-96 – they lost 8-1 on aggregate.
Preview
This will be the first of two legs between Man City and Bristol City in the semi-final of the English League Cup. A spot at the final at Wembley against either Chelsea or Arsenal awaits the winning side, with the Robins aiming to eliminate another Premier League side.
The Robins knocked out City’s neighbor Man United in the previous round to set up this last-four encounter. The lower-league side will be hoping for a positive result at the Etihad and have been boosted by the fitness of Korey Smith.
Smith, who scored the winning goal against the Red Devils in the previous round, has overcome an injury scare in time for Tuesday’s game. Bailey Wright, Nathan Baker, Joe Bryan and Bobby Reid are all expected to return to the starting eleven.
Guardiola could name a weaker lineup for this tie since their next game is a trip to Anfield in the Premier League. Claudio Bravo, Ilkay Gundogan, and Danilo could thus all get rare starts.
