Really stupid of the FA (or whichever body it is) to make Man City play both tonight and tomorrow.
Crazy.
I know it is an U21 team supposedly in the EFL Trophy, but that rules out any of that side bring able to be picked for the Carabou Cup game.

But this is the cup and clubs do rest players for cup competitions if they deem them to be of less importance than the league.But that's not different to our U23 playing Fri and the first team Sat. There's more chance one of our U23 being in the first team than there.

Bit different to a U21 game on a Friday and a league game on a Saturday.
Man City from the first leg have earned the right to rest players for the second.
Remember going to the away leg, we were shockingThis thread got me thinking about city 2 legged games I remember the 5-1 defeat away at Tranmere (Nuzzo one & only appearance in goal conceding all 5 in one half) and going to the 2nd leg at HR and it being 3-0 I think at ht but the game ending 3-1 (agg 4-6)

It is different because Man City clearly wanted to play kids tomorrow.Why is it different? Manchester City aren't playing tonight. Manchester City U23's are. Technically two separate teams of players, coaching and management.
I can see most first team players being rested in Caraboa Cup and a mix of U21 and academy players used in both games. Just depends on which fixture Pep thinks will be most useful to their development - a meaningless game in a slightly bigger competition at Burton or a more competitive game in a competition watched by a man and his dog.
For me, it'll be those nearer the first team at Burton because it classes as a first team game.
How do you know? Might put a fullteam out and try and kill emIt is different because Man City clearly wanted to play kids tomorrow.
In order to do so they have had to pick a shed load of 16 and 17 year olds tonight. 5 of tonight's team are 16 or 17, so 16 year olds against what is surely a strongish, first teamer Sunderland side.
Yeah, a guesstimate for sure, but why not then play U21'S players tonight?How do you know? Might put a fullteam out and try and kill em
Not sure.
Guess we will only find out for sure tomorrow as to what the thinking is when Pep picks his side.
Maybe not , just scoredAre man city taking it easy?
Do they count in the cup?I hope Aguero scores at least three goals tonight, as I could do with the points in the Sun dream team.
