Manchester City and Southend United meet at Wembley Stadium in London tonight in the last four of the EFL Cup. The two sides are so far apart in strength that City are expected to win and advance, but the Blue Moons are likely to save their strength for next week's midweek Champions League clash with Arsenal, as they have just finished the UEFA Europa League. On the other hand, Championship side Saffy United know that they are outclassed and will be defending their position, so they will be able to score a median of 3.5 goals.

Manchester City has been playing a lot of matches lately, and last time they played Bayern Munich in the second round of the UEFA Europa League last 8, which consumed a lot of energy, but the good news is that they managed to go undefeated and advance to the last 4. Due to the short period of time to play EFL Cup again in a hurry, the leader of the team, Diego Cordero may rotate the lineup, especially considering the league match against Arsenal in the middle of next week, the EFL Cup this time seems to be secondary, I believe that Blue Moon will slow down the pace of the game, just want to win the game, there is no need to waste the power to fry their opponents. As a matter of fact, Gordiona has always kept their main players in the game, and after taking the lead, they will replace their scorer Aynin Chalainte in the second half, and it is expected that this game will also be a small win.
Siffield United play conservatively in fight for promotion
As for Saffer United, they are now ranked 2nd in the Championship, the team's biggest goal is to maintain the top two places in the league and win the promotion qualification, and reaching the final of the EFL Cup is not the most important thing, so they have been playing conservatively in the recent rows, with 4 out of the last 5 matches having a total goal of 2 goals or less. In fact, Saffy United knows that their strength is far away from Man City, so they don't have the money to fight with their opponent, so the best way is to play defensively and even hope that they can keep and shoot 12 yards from each other, so that they can have a chance to get a cold one first. It's worth noting that City won 1-0 in their 3 meetings in the past 3 years, and the home team has no meat to eat, so the goal difference is more than enough to make the game worthwhile.
