FT: United 1-3 City. First blood City. A fairly comfortable win for the away side as United offered very little despite Rashford's goal. United have it all to do in the return leg in a few weeks.
Not good news here. De Bruyne is down and referee Mike Dean has signalled the medical team on straight away. He was involved in a collision with Lindelof.
74'
It could be more if it wasn't for De Gea, but now United have a great chance to perhaps get 2 in the last 15 minutes or so. They can't, can they??
HT: United 0-3 City. A terrific performance from City has torn United apart and this tie could already be finished. However, there are still 135 minutes of football to be played. Bernardo, Mahrez, an own goal and City's dominance separate the sides in Manchester.
45'
1 minute added time.
45'
Pereira has an ambitious effort from about 25 yards out that flies over the bar.
44'
What a dummy that was from De Bruyne to take it past Jones. He completely tore him apart.
43'
WOW the alarm bells are ringing here for United. De Bruyne puts in a cross but Sterling can only fire wide.
40'
United are getting ripped apart here. Mahrez is played through, Williams tries to intercept but plays it straight to De Bruyne. De Bruyne still has it all to do, but he faints right and takes it left to leave Jones behind. He shoots, De Gea makes a strong save but it canons off Pereira and in- 3-0!!
If any team is to score next it looks most likely to be City, they are getting in some good positions.
24'
Good chance for City. Walker plays a one-two with De Bruyne, Walker crosses in for Sterling but his shot is blocked.
22'
Every time City go forward it looks like they are going to get a shot away.
20'
Now, I wonder how United are going to react here.
18'
WHAT A GOAL!! I'm lost for words. Bernardo picks up the ball, runs with it and from 20 yards unleashes a left-footed shot that flies past De Gea into the top corner. 1-0 City.
City are looking to win the famous trophy for the 3rd year in a row, while United last won it in 2017.

United won the last League Cup meeting between the pair in 2016 with Juan Mata netting the goal in that one. You'd have to go back to 2010 to find the last League Cup that City won between the pair. The scorers that day were Tevez and Giggs.

What a game we have on our hands tonight with both sides playing strong teams. It looks like this will be United's highest home League Cup attendance in a while with 70,000 fans expected. Both teams agreed to cut their away allocations for the League Cup clashes between the pair.

Man City XI: Bravo, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Mendy, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling.
