A big EFL Cup challenge for the Saints tonight! This Wednesday evening Southampton welcomes Manchester City in the quarter-final game of the Carabao Cup. Southampton is going through a very rough Premier League season, currently placed at the bottom of the table. The Sky Blues on the other hand are the second-best team in the league and doing their best to overtake Arsenal at the top. Therefore, it’s clear that it’s going to be a hard mission for Southampton to win this home match against the guests from Manchester.

The good moment is that Southampton also performed great in the FA Cup against Crystal Palace and won the game by 1:2. This means that they are all set to bring their best tonight and try to surprise the strong visitours from Manchester.
Manchester City FC
The Sky Blues are the absolute favorite in this match. They managed to beat the strong squads of Chelsea (2:0) in the 1/16 final and Liverpool (3:2) in the ⅛-final. Also, Man City did a great job last Sunday in the FA Cup by beating Chelsea with a final score of 4:0.
