Watch Burton Albion Vs Manchester City Carabao Cup Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, EFL Cup Semifinal 2nd Leg
English League One side Burton Albion dared to dream big in this season’s Carabao Cup, defeating Premier League side Burnley as well as Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, per Soccerway, in their improbable drive to the League Cup semifinals. But the bubble finally burst in the first-leg match two weeks ago, when they traveled to face defending five-time cup winners Manchester City. Manchester delivered a zealous, 9-0 shellacking of the lower-league side. But Burton Albion will get one more chance at the Premier League champions — this time in front of their home fans — in a second-leg match that will live stream from Staffordshire.

“It’s the best way to respect the competition and respect the opponents. If you are 4-0 up and forget to continue, you don’t have respect for the competition or your opponent. The best way is do what we have to do,” Manchester City Coach Pep Guardiola told ESPN when asked why his club ran up the score in such a ruthless fashion.
Guardiola will likely field a starting 11 comprised largely of second-team players for the match at Burton. As Goal.com noted, as long as the reserve players can avoid allowing 10 goals to the Brewers, Manchester City will advance to the Carabao Cup final — and get a chance for back-to-back wins in the tournament. Their opponents will be either Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur, who meet on Thursday at Stamford Bridge. The Spurs hold a 1-0 aggregate lead.
