Manchester City have made the Carabao Cup their own since the arrival of Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium. The reigning Premier League champions have not lost a game in the competition since rivals Manchester United beat them in the fourth round back in October 2016.
Four League Cups in a row for Man City mean it is nearly five years since they were last toppled by anyone. The winners before their remarkable run were Man Utd when they beat Southampton 3-2 in the final. Can this be the competition where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wins his first trophy as a manager at Old Trafford?
Meanwhile, other contenders include last year’s runners-up Tottenham whose last trophy came back in the League Cup 13 years ago. And what about Liverpool? With eight wins to their name they are the joint most successful side in the competition’s history alongside Man City.
Then there is also the outside chance of someone from outside the Premier League mounting a challenge like when Bradford made it to the final in 2013. Could there be a surprise package fighting it out at Wembley in February?
Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s edition.
