In this final part, we're going to be looking ahead to the Super Sunday clash between Aston Villa and Man City.

Now, both these teams were in action in midweek in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, and I think they'll both be pretty happy with how things went.

It's fair to say City put on a first-half masterclass at Old Trafford.

No striker, no worries.

Bernardo Silva starring as a false nine as they won 3-1.

Jack, City look primed for another League Cup final.

They're becoming specialists in this competition.

But did that 3-1 win at Man Utd tell us more about the gulf between the two Manchester clubs?

So, stop me if I'm wrong, but suggest you're not holding out much hope for Man Utd in the second leg.

But let's not forget, though, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took Man Utd to the Etihad just before Christmas and got a fantastic victory there.

Put that win into context then for us, because that sounds like it's a bit of an anomaly compared to what we saw earlier this week.

Sure.

And then just bringing it back to City, Nick, what's the value of this competition to Guardiola, especially given where they are in the Premier League?

salvage a good season out of this one I'm sure he'd been an interested spectator for that Leicester Villa game as well Jack Aston Villa one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League they've got long term injuries now to Wesley and their keeper Tom Heaton

But then they came up and they produced this, again, without a striker, maybe Dean Smith had been watching Pep the night before, I don't know.

They came up with this unexpected draw at Leicester and might even feel they should have won at the King Power.

How much of a boost is that for the team, taking Leicester back to Villa Park with a real chance of making a major final?

Sure, and obviously a running theme of

This week was James Madison and Jack Grealish going head-to-head in that game.

I think it's probably fair to say that Grealish just won that battle on points on Wednesday night.
