All is set for the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. Four semi-finalists – Arsenal, Bristol City, Chelsea, and Manchester City – will be featuring in the semi-final of the competition also known as the Carabao Cup.

Since the 4th Round, the competition has seen series of exciting clashes and surprising exits. Bristol City has been the surprise package of the competition so far, after eliminating Crystal Palace and then slaying the giants in Red in the quarter-finals, Manchester United.

For Arsenal, an extra-time win over Norwich helped them survive till now. Chelsea’s run has been like that of a reigning Premier League champ. The wins may not have been beautiful but they have been good enough to earn them a spot in the semis.

For Manchester City, a brave hero called Claudio Bravo has been fully responsible for how far they’ve come in the competition. Two penalty shoot-outs and Bravo has come out on top.

Manchester City vs. Bristol City

The table topper will be hosting the giant slayers in Bristol City this week. For both teams, there’s a lot at stake. Starting with the men in sky blue, this is an opportunity for Pep Guardiola to win his first trophy as Man. City manager.

He endured a trophy-less first season and has already spent too much for a second one. For all their record-breaking performances in the Premier League, the Citizens have not won any of their last games in this competition, with both games ending in a draw.
