What’s another League Cup to Manchester City anyway? They’ve only gone and won it 6 of the last 10 seasons, including 4 of 8 under Pep Guardiola. Kevin De Bruyne, who is currently out injured, has won the League Cup five times as the last remaining player from the pre-Guardiola era.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have been to just four finals (three of which were the League Cup) and came up short in all four since last lifting a piece of silverware in 2008. It remains to be seen whether or not Ange Postecoglou’s playing style is sustainable over the course of 38 PL games, but a cup competition in which you only have to navigate six games against five different teams? If only the draw had been kinder to them.
Postecoglou is yet to beat Guardiola, with the sides drawing 3-3 in their first meeting last December, followed by 1-0 and 2-0 victories for Man City in the FA Cup and PL, respectively.
