Johnny On The Spot: #LONDONCALLING. For the first time in Manchester City’s history, the club will take part at Wembley next month in a second consecutive League Cup Final, the Blues having negotiated safely an entertaining if bitterly cold night in Burton upon Trent.
A handful of hacks and clueless pundits have suggested that Pep Guardiola’s men should have declared at half time in Manchester earlier in the month in order to show Burton Albion respect, wholly ignorant of the strength of the XI the City boss had selected in full respect of the competition and opponents who had beaten Premier League side Burnley, as well as Championship teams Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough en route to this Semi Final.
