BRISTOL City, an unheralded club in England’s second tier, have beaten four Premier League opponents – including Manchester United – to reach the semifinals of the League Cup.
Now the hard work begins.
Next up on Wednesday morning from 5.55am AEDT on beIN Sports 2 is Premier League leader Manchester City, who haven’t lost any of their 26 games in domestic competition.
With Socceroos defender Bailey Wright set to lead Bristol out, manager Lee Johnson has said this Man City team will “etch itself in history as one of the greatest teams to have ever graced the pitches in England.”
That the competition’s semifinals are played over two legs makes Bristol City’s task of causing a major upset even harder, but there is still scope for encouragement.
Man City has failed to score just once at home all season and that was against another second-tier team in Wolverhampton Wanderers, who took Pep Guardiola’s side to penalties following a 0-0 draw after extra time.
