Carabao Cup draw LIVE! Man United discover semi-final opponents after City beaten

Carabao Cup draw LIVE!

Manchester United, Newcastle, Southampton and Nottingham Forest have discovered their opponents in the semi-finals of the 2022-23 Carabao Cup.

The Saints dismissed a poor Manchester City side by a 2-0 scoreline earlier tonight as Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo hit fine first-half goals. Last night, Manchester United edged Charlton after Marcus Rashford’s late brace and an Antony stunner.

Newcastle will fancy their chances under Eddie Howe after putting Leicester out of the Carabao Cup last night. A tense penalty shootout win put Forest in the hat as they beat Wolves at the City Ground. The two-legged ties will be played on the weeks of January 23 and 30.

What a result!

21:51 , Marc Mayo

90+4 mins: The home fans are loving their side’s cruise into the final four.

It’s 3-3 after four spot-kicks each in the City Ground shootout, meanwhile...

21:49 , Marc Mayo

90+2 mins: Saints the ones on the attack and Rodri has to put in a sturdy foot to deny an opportunity.

They’re nearly home as Walker-Peters wins a foul off Alvarez!

21:47 , Marc Mayo

90 mins: Six minutes added on...

21:45 , Marc Mayo

87 mins: Mighty header clear by Lyanco before another cross is repelled.

A lovely dink in by Rodri is spotted by Haaland but he’s just distracted by his defender and he fails to connect - Bazunu claims!

21:41 , Marc Mayo

84 mins: They’re heading for penalties in Nottingham Forest vs Wolves as Lyanco hacks clear another City ball in at St Mary’s.

Remember, the semi-final draw will be coming up later and right here!

21:39 , Marc Mayo

83 mins: A debut for Croatian winger Orsic, on for Armstrong.

21:37 , Marc Mayo

80 mins: A break in play after a loose Perraud hand claws Alvarez accidentally. The away fans want a big punishment but there’s only a stoppage for a potential head injury.

21:35 , Marc Mayo

78 mins: Alvarez slides into Gundogan’s cross and can only narrowly toe a shot goalwards, the ball diverting off Salisu for Bazunu to clutch off his line.

We’re in for a big finish! Southampton still 2-0 up but Diallo booked.

GOA-NO!

21:33 , Marc Mayo

77 mins: There’s Bazunu again! Leaping off his line to hoof clear a quick ball in front of Haaland.

Southampton come forward and Adams rolls it home... offside.

21:31 , Marc Mayo

74 mins: City’s counter-attacks have been well stifled by Southampton all night, another hopeful ball forward by Rodri is cut out and headed into touch.

The away team need a goal soon...

21:28 , Marc Mayo

71 mins: A great claim from Bazunu as De Bruyne strides forward and places a good, low cross towards Haaland’s run but the goalkeeper snatches it off his toe!

21:25 , Marc Mayo

69 mins: Foden’s cross is about three yards behind Haaland yet the still manages to pluck it out the air with a flick that flies high over the bar.

21:24 , Marc Mayo

67 mins: A positive spell for Southampton, Walker-Peters firing a cross-shot through the six-yard box that caught the offside Adams on his heels.

Ward-Prowse next to launch a ball forward and City struggle to clear.

21:22 , Marc Mayo

65 mins: Man City have not had a shot on target yet, which is about as shocking as the actual scoreline.

21:19 , Marc Mayo

63 mins: Phillips off for Rodri. Hardly the grandest first start for the City man.

21:17 , Marc Mayo

60 mins: Walker-Peters gallops forward on a break and is held up by Ake, but still gets a cross in which City stretch to clear.

The home fans liked that!

However, Lavia is down now. He’s off for Elyounoussi while Adam replaces Mara.

21:14 , Marc Mayo

56 mins: It’s Haaland time!

The Norwegian replaces Grealish, so two up front for City or will Alvarez go wide?

Southampton bring Perraud on for Djenepo.

21:11 , Marc Mayo

54 mins: Djenepo is down after bouncing off Grealish off the ball. Nothing in that, really, but the physio is called on.

21:10 , Marc Mayo

53 mins: The away end wants handball as a De Bruyne cross is deflected and hoofed clear. No dice.

Meanwhile...

21:09 , Marc Mayo

Jimenez equalises for Wolves in the quarter-final tie at Nottingham Forest. It’s 1-1 after an hour there.

21:07 , Marc Mayo

50 mins: Armstrong has a potshot from the edge of the box, dragged wide of the near post.

21:05 , Marc Mayo

48 mins: Scrappy from City in their own half and Lavia nearly finds Mara bursting into the box.

Another Southampton goal could kill this tie...

21:03 , Marc Mayo

46 mins: Alvarez slotted in straight away by De Bruyne and goes early with his shot, which flashes across goal and wide!

Kick-off!

21:02 , Marc Mayo

De Bruyne, Akanji and Ake on for Gomez, Walker and Palmer.

Here come the players!

21:00 , Marc Mayo

Will Guardiola go to his bench for the second half?

First-half highlights

20:58 , Marc Mayo

A frankly superb chip from Djenepo to cap a huge five minutes for Saints.

Around the grounds

20:53 , Marc Mayo

The second half is kicking off at the City Ground with Nottingham Forest a goal up on Wolves in tonight’s other quarter-final.

First-half highlights

20:50 , Marc Mayo

A fine finish from Mara put Southampton ahead with his first goal for the club.

Half-time! Southampton 2-0 Man City

20:47 , Marc Mayo

Mara and Djenepo put the hosts on course for a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals!

20:46 , Marc Mayo

45 mins: One minute added on.

20:45 , Marc Mayo

44 mins: Ward-Prowse picks Phillips’ pocket and very nearly launches a counter-attack but it’s all City as the break approaches.

20:42 , Marc Mayo

41 mins: Foden’s corner just about sums City’s first half up, just a touch inaccurate and all the way out for a Southampton throw-in.

20:38 , Marc Mayo

37 mins: The visitors in control of the ball as a confident Southampton look happy to do the hard yards in defence.

City have enjoyed 70 per cent of possession but you know what they say about possession stats...

20:35 , Marc Mayo

34 mins: Grealish slips in down the left but Caleta-Car is quickly in his face to divert a shot behind for a corner.

Bazunu punches the set piece clear.

20:32 , Marc Mayo

31 mins: A huge test of Guardiola’s domestic cup record now... 15 wins from 15 games!

GGOOOAAALLL!!!! Southampton 2-0 Man City

20:29 , Marc Mayo

28 mins: DJENEPO!

Wow! The Saints are marching through the City defence as Djenepo spots Ortega off his line and delivers an audacious chip for 2-0!

20:28 , Marc Mayo

27 mins: Southampton fail to clear a Grealish ball into the box and Palmer’s shot is blocked before the youngster gives it away.

20:25 , Marc Mayo

24 mins: Lavia booked for felling Gundogan midway inside his own half.

GGOOOAALLL!!! Southampton 1-0 Man City

20:23 , Marc Mayo

22 mins: MARA!

That’s a much better finish!

Moreno has to come out his box to clear and a sloppy piece of play follows before a cute ball into Mara is taken in the striker’s stride.

A first Southampton goal for the 20-year-old!

20:21 , Marc Mayo

20 mins: Lyanco finds Mara with a lovely clip over the top, the striker controlling well as he spins and slices a very loose left-footed effort off target.

20:18 , Marc Mayo

17 mins: Lyanco lucky to escape a booking for a sharp jab on Grealish after tracking the winger back towards his own half.

20:15 , Marc Mayo

14 mins: A very wayward pass from Walker out of the back and Guardiola pings the ball back down to earth from the touchline.

Just the one chance each in the early exchanges.

20:12 , Marc Mayo

12 mins: City settle into some comfortable possession after that Southampton flurry. Nothing to worry Bazunu apart from a dodgy backpass which he slides clear.

Southampton chance!

20:09 , Marc Mayo

8 mins: Caleta-Car throws a foot at a bouncing ball and Ortega parries away what was a dangerous strike!

Good stuff from Southampton.

20:07 , Marc Mayo

6 mins: Just wide from Gundogan as Salisu allows Foden to steal in, before Palmer races clear and the German plants a side-footed effort wide from 18 yards.

Around the grounds

20:05 , Marc Mayo

A Boly goal against his old club has Nottingham Forest ahead against Wolves in the other quarter-final.

20:04 , Marc Mayo

3 mins: Southampton on the front foot early but Armstrong’s ricochet concedes a corner and, despite a header out, Saints are forced to sit back against some City possession.

20:03 , Marc Mayo

2 mins: As expected, Walker at centre-back for Man City in pale green and black, against Southampton in white and black with a bit of red. Not a great kit pairing.

Kick-off!

20:00 , Marc Mayo

Southampton face Man City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals as referee Peter Bankes blows his whistle!

Here come the players!

19:57 , Marc Mayo

Kick-off almost upon us as a far-from packed-out St Mary’s welcomes both teams to the pitch.

New Saints signing Carlos Alcaraz was unveiled to the home fans moments ago...

Countdown to kick-off

19:52 , Marc Mayo

Man City out to make it three wins in a row over Southampton in just a few minutes’ time.

Reminder!

19:48 , Marc Mayo

No extra-time tonight if level after 90 minutes - just straight to penalties!

Nathan Jones previews the game on Sky Sports

19:44 , Marc Mayo

“It’s one of the best teams in the world, a real tough challenge but we have to embrace it.

“We have to use the squad, rotate. We can’t go with one set of 11.

“We’ll take a result but we’d love a performance and a result.”

Countdown to kick-off

19:41 , Marc Mayo

Just 20 minutes to go with the warm-ups in full flow.

Pep Guardiola discusses his selection on Sky Sports

19:38 , Marc Mayo

“We are still alive in everything and we need everyone, [Phillips] can play and understand. I’ve done all through my career, I’ve used everyone. In the second half [the subs] will get some minutes. It’s a normal back four.”

Last time they met

19:33 , Marc Mayo

A fairly standard 4-0 win at the Etihad back in October.

Full debut for Phillips

19:29 , Marc Mayo

It seems a long time ago that Kalvin Phillips signed for Man City (because it was).

Finally, tonight he makes his first start for the club.

“He's always ready,” said Pep Guardiola ahead of the game.

“Of course he needed time for some aspects but he’s ready and we are delighted about that.

“We have to see [if he will start] but I think he's an intelligent player, normally holding midfielders are so clever. There are patterns and movements and you need game time.

“He arrived and had injuries which meant he couldn’t be there but step by step he will get there.”

Reinforcements for Southampton

19:25 , Marc Mayo

The club have just confirmed Carlos Alcaraz’s signing from Racing of Argentina - although he will not be making his debut tonight!

A big night in the Carabao Cup

19:21 , Marc Mayo

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest host Wolves in a Midlands derby, which kicks off 15 minutes before our game.

Southampton swap out five players

19:14 , Marc Mayo

Nathan Jones may have claimed an FA Cup win at Crystal Palace on the weekend but he shuffles his pack tonight.

Out go Romain Perraud, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Che Adams, Joe Aribo and Samuel Edozie.

Replacing them are Moussa Djenepo, Ibrahima Diallo, Sekou Mara, Kyle Walker-Peters and Romeo Lavia as they got to five at the back,

Four Man City changes

19:10 , Marc Mayo

Joao Cancelo comes in at right-back for the visitors, moving Kyle Walker into central defence. Pep Guardiola following Gareth Southgate’s example...

Kalvin Phillips starts as Jack Grealish returns from illness and Ilkay Gundogan comes in.

Manuel Akanji, Riyad Mahrez, Rodri and Bernardo Silva drop out with City’s bench, as ever, mighty.

How Saints line up tonight

19:04 , Marc Mayo

Southampton XI: Bazunu; Djenepo, Lyanco, Salisu, Caleta-Car, Walker-Peters; Lavia, Ward-Prowse, Diallo; Armstrong, Mara.

Subs: Caballero, Perraud, Finnigan, Elyounoussi, Aribo, Edozie, Orsic, Adams, Morgan.

Man City team news is in!

19:00 , Marc Mayo

Man City XI: Ortega; Cancelo, Walker, Laporte, Gomez; Phillips, Gundogan, Foden; Palmer, Alvarez, Grealish.

Subs: Ederson, Ake, Haaland, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Akanji, Mahrez, Lewis.

How will City line up?

18:57 , Marc Mayo

Pep Guardiola teased a “ridiculous” plan for the weekend’s Manchester derby so what will that mean for this game?

He said: “The [Cup] game against Chelsea I made a lot of changes for one reason: how tired I saw some players after the game [in London], after the trip.

“We arrived too late back and in the training the day after I saw the players tired. It also depends on those who didn’t play against Chelsea.

“I would like to arrive against United with the average of minutes in the legs of the players quite similar.”

Saints in the building

18:50 , Marc Mayo

New signing Miroslav Orsic pictured in St Mary’s... will he feature tonight?

Evening Standard score prediction

18:28 , Marc Mayo

While it’ll be fascinating to see if Jones can build on his first win, beating a City side likely to be at full strength is quite the ask even for a team in good form.

Manchester City to win 2-0.

18:23 , Marc Mayo

Predicted Man City XI: Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Ake, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Phillips, Gundogan; Mahrez, Haaland, Foden.

18:18 , Marc Mayo

Predicted Southampton XI: Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Lyanco, Salisu, Caleta-Car, Perraud; Lavia, Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles; Armstrong, Adams.

Early Man City team news

18:13 , Marc Mayo

Pep Guardiola has revealed Kalvin Phillips is in line to start on the south coast, while the City boss was able to rest the likes of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne for Sunday’s FA Cup win over Chelsea.

Given the importance the City boss has placed on this competition, it seems likely he will name the strongest starting line-up possible.

Early Southampton team news

18:09 , Marc Mayo

Nathan Jones has confirmed Armel Bella-Kotchap and Stuart Armstrong will miss the game having sat out the win over Crystal Palace.

New signing Mislav Orisic, meanwhile, could make his debut in at least some capacity though is unlikely to be rushed at this stage.
