Manchester City Under-21s won 4-2 at Rochdale in the EFL Trophy last 16Manchester City are furious over the scheduling of their EFL Trophy quarter-final - 24 hours before the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. City's under-21 side face Sunderland in the EFL Trophy on 22 January, while the first team play Burton in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on 23 January. With a 9-0 first-leg lead, manager Pep Guardiola wanted to select a younger side in the EFL Cup, but City say the schedule limits opportunities for their youngsters. City are the last remaining under-21 side left in the EFL Trophy. "The EFL is grateful for the support of both Clubs towards the Checkatrade Trophy and Pep Guardiola's backing of the Carabao Cup."
