Defending champion Manchester City will host city rivals Manchester United (MU) in the second leg of the 2019/20 Carabao Cup semifinal on Thursday (1/30/2020).
The Citizens have a neat capital looking at the Manchester Derby at the Etihad Stadium.
At home, City is quite favored to win again. What's more, MU will not be strengthened by injured Rashford.
In their last match, in the FA Cup, City and MU both won. City defeated second division Fulham 4-0 with goals from Ilkay Gundogan (penalty), Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus (2). Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's boys beat up third division Tranmere Rovers 6-0.
Against the league team from League One, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones, Anthony Martial, and Mason Greenwood contributed one goal each for MU.
Having previously bent Liverpool in a row and humiliated Burnley in the Premier League, victory over Tranmere could slightly restore Manchester United's confidence.
However, it is not a guarantee they will win also against City who are more consistent.
