Very few top-flight managers take the EFL Cup as seriously as Pep Guardiola and nothing emphasises that more the recent honours board of this competition. Pep has steered his side to four successive EFL Cup wins, indeed the Citizens have lifted the trophy in six of the last eight seasons.
Despite managing just a single shot on target in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Southampton, City are fully expected to return to winning ways against League One side Wycombe, who are a 25/1 to cause what would be a gigantic upset at the Etihad Stadium.
At 1/20, it is barely even worth putting City in an acca, let alone backing them as a single, but there are more appealing options in the goals markets.
Wycombe, who have failed to win three of their four away league games, have already conceded seven times against League One opposition so it is almost impossible to see them keeping a lid on City's world-class attack, even allowing for the fact that Guardiola is expected to make changes a raft of changes.
City will be keen to put on a show after the weekend disappointment so a resounding home will looks firmly on the cards. Over 3.5 City goals, at 17/20 with Grosvenor Sport, rates the most appealing bet.
