Manchester City travel to Wembley this Sunday in a bid to retain their Carabao Cup crown.
Their opponents Aston Villa have overcome the odds to reach the final - and while City will go in as clear favourites, Pep Guardiola will be aware of football's unpredictable nature and will be keen to guard his players against any potential complacency.
This week's victory over Real Madrid has put City firmly in the driving seat in their Champions League knock-out clash. While this year's Premier League title may be out of reach, there are still three pieces of silverware up for grabs.
The Carabao Cup - and all of it's various incarnations - has been a competition that's been good to City in recent years having won four of the last six finals.
It's a spell of domination dating back to the 3-1 comeback victory over Sunderland when Yaya Toure, Samir Nasri and Jesus Navas were on the scoresheet.
No side since Liverpool in the early 1980s has won the competition three times in a row. A win on Sunday will also bring City within one of the Merseysiders total of eight - the most any side has to their name.
Villa themselves have a rich history in the competition. They won the very first League Cup competition in 1961. They beat Rotherham in a two-legged tie 3-2 having originally been down 2-0 from the first leg.
City will also be encouraged by the result and performance during the last encounter between the two sides. City left Villa Park with an emphatic 6-1 win in early January.
