Even so, Newcastle still played well and I admit that they deserved to win that match, Manchester City after this defeat maybe they will focus more on maintaining the club's performance in the more important league and I'm sure Guardiola doesn't have big goals in this championship and give victory to Newcastle.

I could not watch Newcastle game because of the Chelsea game going on at around same time. I heard the news that Manchester City lost to Newcastle, maybe it was planned by the Manchester City coach not to stress the players for the very busy season and also so none of his key players get injured in this season where many players are getting injured, but at least they lost, which shows that they are very beatable if only other teams will work extra harder.

Pep Guardiola doesn't seem to prioritize winning in this match. Although of course he also doesn't expect to lose. But from the strategy used, I see that the Man City players are not really encouraged to make as many attacks as usual. But I'm not saying the players aren't serious. Of course everyone played seriously and with good performance. It's just that the motivation to win the EFL Cup doesn't seem to be that big for the Man City squad. But still I bet on Man City in that match and their defeat made me a little disappointed.

In other matches, I also favor Brighton. But it turned out that Chelsea could beat Brighton in that match. Maybe me was unlucky in predicting matches in the EFL Cup.
