Manchester City cruised into the League Cup semi-finals following a 2-0 home victory over Brentford, setting up a clash with defending champions Newcastle United, who secured their spot with an added-time winner by Lewis Miley, defeating Fulham 2-1 at St James' Park.

Meanwhile, Chelsea emerged victorious with a 3-1 win against Cardiff City, advancing to face either Arsenal or Crystal Palace, who are set to compete in the last quarter-final next Tuesday. City's manager, Pep Guardiola, made significant changes from their previous win against Crystal Palace, but the team showed dominance over a faltering Brentford.

City's Rayan Cherki broke the deadlock with a stunning goal in the 32nd minute, followed by a fortuitous strike by Savinho in the 67th minute, ensuring their victory. In Newcastle, a nail-biting finish saw Miley's header send the team through, aiming to defend their title this season.
