Manchester City are heading back to Wembley for their fourth successive Carabao Cup final and the way they got past Manchester United on Wednesday felt like a real statement about their current mood and momentum. But that was against a Chelsea side who had just hit something of a slump - this time they were up against a resurgent United team who were on a roll and have been flying up the Premier League. As Stones rightly said afterwards, it was a display that City legend Colin Bell, who sadly passed away on Tuesday, would have been proud of. There were times when De Bruyne was collecting the ball off his defenders, but he was also storming down the right-hand side. You could see how much it meant to the manager and his players from the way they celebrated at the final whistle.
