Manchester City face Burton Albion in what could be considered the most redundant second leg in League Cup history.
Carabao Cup holders City won the first leg 9-0 at the Etihad Stadium a fortnight ago and Burton will be hoping to avoid a second mauling at home on Wednesday.
The Brewers need to score double figures if they are to overturn their first-leg defeat, so it is probably safe to say that Pep Guardiola’s side have already booked their place in the final as they remain in the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple.
