00:00Sit, so let them at it.
00:07A month precisely since last these neighbours emerged together.
00:11Then United took the points on City's turf.
00:15Barely a fortnight till they will go hammer and tongs again across town.
00:19But here, now, for the 180th time in their complex, mutual, intertwined history.
00:26Manchester's mightiest step forward for combat.
00:36If neither this year is likely to be champions of the land,
00:39the clamour for alternative prizes is all the greater.
00:44How Solskjaer-led United hungers for its first piece of silver,
00:48something upon which to launch a new era.
00:51How insatiably hungry Pep City must always remain.
00:54Trophies, these days, of course, are their raison d'etre.
01:14Well, the United team is notable for the inclusion of David De Gea in goal,
01:19his first League Cup tie since the 2017 final,
01:22and Phil Jones, his first appearance for six weeks in the absence of Harry Maguire.
01:27Interesting, too, that young Brandon Williams keeps the left-back shirt.
01:30He also owned at Wolves in the FA Cup on Saturday.
01:33Likewise, Mason Greenwood with Stan's competition from Anthony Martial up top.
01:38In fact, it's five of the 11 who started at Molineux.
01:42Well, once again, Manchester United are set up to counter-attack using the pace of Rashford, Lingard and James.
01:48But Greenwood will add a touch of guile in that attack.
01:51Fred and Pereira could be outnumbered in midfield, so will need to be at their energetic best.
01:57Well, it's the City team that beat Port Vale in the FA Cup at the weekend.
02:01Only three, Claudio Bravo, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva go again now.
02:06Aguero and Jesus both left on the bench, so Raheem Sterling spearheads the attack.
02:10Nicolas Otamendi is fit to return to what appears to be a back four this time.
02:15Certainly no compromise, though.
02:16On the face of it, a far more senior selection than that which won the pre-Christmas quarterfinal at Oxford.
02:22Well, Rodri is key to Manchester City's formation.
02:25In recent weeks, he has at times dropped deeper to make it a back three.
02:29All-State in midfield has a defensive shield.
02:32Whichever position he plays tonight, his inclusion allows Mendy and Walker, the full-backs, to get forward at every opportunity.
02:42Rashford. Greenwood. Rashford's kept on running.
02:47Here he is now, Marcus Rashford, away from Otamendi.
02:52Odomendi, straight to air as far as Greenwood.
02:57Greenwood set it for Fred.
02:59And Fred's shot from Rashford in a very obviously offside position.
03:04But that's exactly how Manchester United want a counter-attack with pace.
03:08Greenwood, on that occasion, drifting out to the right-hand side.
03:11Look at the pace of Rashford to get onto this, and he just deceived Otamendi here.
03:16Beats him for pace, but Fernandinho in the right place.
03:28Oh, what a hit!
03:31A special, special hit for City at the Stretford end, Old Trafford.
03:40Wow, that fizzed into the top corner!
03:46Well, it all started by, they went that little bit longer.
03:50Mahrez headed it down, and suddenly Walker's breaking forward.
03:54Fred can't get close enough.
03:55Jones doesn't close the ball down, and David De Gea has absolutely no chance.
04:00It's interesting to see whether he wraps his foot round it.
04:02Yes, he does.
04:03Hits the underneath of the crossbow.
04:04Oh, what a strike this is from Bernardo Silva.
04:06He's hardly been involved in the game.
04:09He certainly is now.
04:13That is a spectacularly good goal for Bernardo Silva,
04:18who did score on this ground in April as City won 2-0
04:21to move within touching distance of their Premier League crown.
04:30De Bruyne, Walker.
04:33Stunning!
04:35And Stunning again, Jones thwarted him.
04:38Williams clear as far only as De Bruyne.
04:46Jones is the blocker again.
04:52Williams, pointy no.
04:56He moved it away.
04:59Wendelof's header came to Bernardo Silva.
05:01He drifts clear of Pereira,
05:03and rolls it through for Riyad Mahrez!
05:052-0 City!
05:09Right now, the Blues are a level or two clear of the Reds.
05:15They're a goal and two clear of the Reds.
05:20What a pass from Bernardo Silva.
05:23Lindelof wins the header.
05:25It goes straight to Bernardo Silva.
05:27Goes past the first challenge.
05:29Lindelof doesn't get back round on the cover.
05:31And what a good first touch from Riyad Mahrez.
05:35A very simple second one.
05:37But the movement of Kevin De Bruyne
05:39and the movement of Riyad Mahrez.
05:41Absolutely brilliant.
05:43They might not be playing with the centre-forward,
05:45but when it needs somebody to run through the middle,
05:47one of those midfield players continues to do it.
05:52Fred.
05:55Sweet little touch from Greenwood.
05:57Greenwood again.
05:58Didn't make pure contact.
06:01There's a little bit of gall I was talking about.
06:04Ball played in, Tim.
06:05You can see the run.
06:09Lindelof just tries to flick it round the corner.
06:12And get there.
06:13By Bernardo Silva.
06:15On by Sterling.
06:15Lovely touch from De Bruyne.
06:16Threw by Bernardo Silva.
06:18Mahrez on his way.
06:19De Bruyne up alongside.
06:20Williams got some of it.
06:22It only came to Kevin De Bruyne.
06:25De Gea saves.
06:26It bounces off Pereira.
06:27And Manchester City are 3-0 up on enemy territory.
06:35Well, they're trying to claim there was a foul somewhere in there on Williams by Riyad Mahrez.
06:40Well, we do have VAR, so we'll be checked.
06:45Here's the counter-attack.
06:49Sterling heads it on.
06:50De Bruyne around the corner.
06:51This is where the foul may have been, or may have happened, just there.
06:56Can't see too much wrong with it.
06:58Kevin De Bruyne does brilliantly to go past Jones.
07:00De Gea with a decent save.
07:02And Pereira's just unlucky.
07:04Not much he can do about this.
07:06I'm not sure that Riyad Mahrez touches Williams there.
07:10Solskjaer was complaining.
07:12But the dummy that he used to go beyond Jones was brilliant from Kevin De Bruyne.
07:21De Bruyne.
07:23Koundouan.
07:25Mahrez.
07:27Koundouan.
07:30Mendy.
07:32Jones away.
07:34Koundouan onto it.
07:36Sterling.
07:37Bernardo Silva!
07:38Te Gea has made a very good block.
07:40No, the flag was up.
07:42Must have been a tight one.
07:44Once again, midfield player running through the middle.
07:47Bernardo Silva this time.
07:52Nairdeen offside there.
07:53Yes, Sterling was the player offside.
07:55Not Bernardo Silva.
07:57Sterling.
07:58Bernardo Silva.
08:00Mahrez.
08:00Look at the space for De Bruyne.
08:03In by De Bruyne for Sterling.
08:06Who just cannot score in this fixture.
08:11Raheim Sterling.
08:13Raheim Sterling extraordinarily playing his 18th game against United tonight and he still hasn't scored.
08:17May, may, may just have been offside, had he got just ahead of the ball, I think, linesman, assistant referee
08:24puts his flag up.
08:31Mahrez with the delivery away by Jones, gathered by Gundogan, lifted in again by Mendy, here's Mahrez round the back
08:40and De Gea threw a knee at it.
08:47Mahrez was onside when the ball was played, it's a good first touch if he didn't use his arm.
08:55Mahrez plays the ball over the top, a bit of post, a bit of Hare's leg, I would say.
08:59Shxtor 3, India, with Keith and ر Toure, in нами.
09:05Yeovine The Real Madrid.
09:06Two in red, in front of a four man blue wall, Rashford, carried little threat.
09:21Stirling, De Bruyne.
09:25United won it back
09:26Hunting hungrily
09:28Greenwood, Rashford's in here
09:31And scores
09:34A glimpse
09:35Just a glimpse
09:36For Manchester United
09:39Made visible for them
09:41By Marcus Rashford
09:44Just under hit
09:45By De Bruyne
09:47This is what Greenwood can do
09:49Talked about his guard
09:50What a pass that is
09:52And a good first touch
09:53From Rashford
09:55Otamendi doesn't want to
09:56Make a chance
09:56He gives up on it
09:57And there's a lot of goal
09:58To hit
09:59Bravo didn't quite
10:00Get his angle right
10:01But a good finish
10:02From Rashford
10:09So City have to go again
10:10Bernardo Silva
10:12Raheem Sterling
10:16Mouraise
10:17And De Gea's behind it
10:20Well he didn't exactly make it easy
10:22For Mahrez there
10:23Sturt
10:25Well Herr did well
10:27Just staying
10:28Standing up
10:29And he gets
10:31Sweetly worked
10:36Rashford
10:38Had a pop
10:39And surprised
10:40Cardio Bravo
10:44That's the technique
10:45He uses when he's
10:46Getting free kicks
10:47Look here
10:48Just hits the back of the ball
10:50It starts to dip and swerve
10:51That's why Bravo
10:52Can't hang on to it
10:53Out by Otamendi
10:56Well it is
10:57Manchester City's
10:58To lose
10:58No question about that
10:59Pep Guardiola's
11:01First half
11:02Tactical masterclass
11:03Has them in control
11:04Of the semi-final
11:05The first half
11:06In which Bernardo Silva
11:08Deliciously
11:09Riyad Mahrez
11:10Smoothly
11:11And
11:11Andreas Pereira
11:12Unfortunately
11:13Gave City
11:14A three-goal advantage
11:16An advantage
11:17Cut to some extent
11:19By Marcus Rashford
11:2020 minutes out
11:21From the 90s
11:22So
11:22United
11:23Aren't quite
11:24Out of it
11:25But boy
11:26They have
11:26A steep hill
11:27To climb
11:28On the other side
11:29Of town
11:30Three weeks from now
11:30The final score
11:32In the first leg
11:32Of this Carabao Cup
11:33Semi-final
11:34Manchester United
11:36One
11:36Manchester City
11:37Three
