This is also something to note for those posters who aren't familiar with the League Cup/EFL Cup/Carabao Cup (for sponsorship purposes).

This competition is the third most important English competition, or the fourth most important competition if your team is in Europe. League(whatever league you're in), FA Cup, and the League Cup/Carabao Cup/EFL Cup.

Because of its relative lack of importance relative to the League and FA Cup, bigger teams routinely field weakened sides in the cup. Most of your usual starting XI won't play, and in some cases won't even make the bench for the earlier stages of the competition.

And yet, somehow, Man City win it every year

So much for United letting players rest from the World Cup.

Eriksen
Casemiro
Rashford
Bruno
Malacia

All starting.

I don't think Malacia actually played at the World Cup

This game is quite entertaining, which means it�s ripe to be just ruined by a bad refereeing decision. [No VAR in this round, correct?]
