One Step Closer to the 'League Cup' Final for Man City, What About the Leicester vs Aston Villa Showdown?
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] The first leg of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) semi-finals concluded on the 8th (Korean time), drawing fans' attention to the remaining match schedule.
The 2019-20 season Carabao Cup semi-finals began with the Manchester Derby. On the morning of the 8th at Old Trafford in Manchester, Manchester City secured a 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
Manchester City scored three goals in the first half, including an own goal, and although they conceded one goal in the second half, they moved one step closer to the final. Moreover, since the match was held at Old Trafford, which is an away ground for Manchester City, the two-goal margin victory is even more valuable.
The last time the two teams met was on December 7th last year in a Premier League (EPL) match in the UK, where Manchester United won 2-1, but this time Manchester City succeeded in avenging that defeat.
The semi-final between Leicester City and Aston Villa is also attracting fans' expectations. Attention is focused on whether the 17th-placed Aston Villa can pull off an upset against second-placed Leicester in the EPL standings.
In particular, Aston Villa, who gained momentum by achieving a 5-0 victory over Liverpool's youth squad in the quarter-finals, is considered a "dark horse."
The League Cup semi-finals are played over two legs, with each team hosting one match, followed by a single final match at Wembley Stadium.
Manchester City and Manchester United are scheduled to play the second leg on the 30th at 4:45 AM at Manchester City's home ground, Etihad Stadium.
