MAN CITY are bidding for a quadruple while Bristol City are eyeing a dream double but only one squad is deep enough to challenge on multiple fronts.
Pep Guardiola's men stayed on course for four trophies by beating Burnley in the FA Cup on Saturday while the Robins' weakened side crashed 3-0 at Watford.
Pep's all-conquerors are unbeaten in 26 domestic games and the Spaniard will field his strongest available side in tonight's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
Lee Johnson's City shocked Man United in the last round but have struggled to balance competing for promotion and a cup challenge and have won one out of five since.
A weakened side played at Watford but a full-strength one looked tired as they crashed 5-0 at Aston Villa and that followed a 2-1 loss at Wolves.
A fourth defeat in a row is likely tonight but City are no bigger than 1-6 than Betway and 1-16 to reach the Final.
Guardiola will be keen to take a big lead to Ashton Gate when he can field his reserves and I like Man City -1 at 2-5 with Stan James while -2 has a chance at 20-21 with Betfred.
Bristol City are 28-1 at McBookie to cause a huge shock while the draw pays 19-2 at Marathonbet.
With Gabriel Jesus out it's Sergio Aguero who will again lead the line and he is 11-4 to score first with Raheem Sterling 41-10 at 188BET.
Man City have conceded in five of their last seven victories at the Etihad so a Bristol City goal is possible. City and both to score pays 17-10 at McBookie while btts is 21-10 with the Scots firm.
