That's the matter.
Recently, Man City has not been very optimal in optimizing the chances they have. In fact, it was a lot of chances, continuous attacks were launched against the opposing team. But, they could only get 1 goal. This is the subject of ongoing evaluation from Pep Guardiola, about how this can end soon and they can return as strong and effective as before.
There is a slightly different situation from Manchester City's attack pattern but in my opinion apart from them currently losing a little momentum especially with the current declining goal productivity making the situation sometimes unexpected for Manchester City.
Of course, the bottom line is that they could get a win then. However, as you say, there was quite a change in the attack pattern. However, whether this is one of Pep's new tactics or not, I don't think it will be to such an extent. Pep Guardiola always carries out evaluations so that the players can be even more solid in each match, so that they can win as optimally as possible. because the longer the match, the more difficult it will be, and they have to continue to win, especially in this EPL where in fact they want the title but up to now they are still in 2nd place. We really expect that Man City will be back soon to likely what they are always doing and reaching previously, not wasting so many chances, and able utilizing the chances optimally. We really miss this.
Chelsea will probably try really hard to get at least one trophy this season despite their downturn. But unfortunately, their opponent this time is Liverpool, which incidentally is a club that is very on fire this season. Liverpool wants various titles in the Carabao Cup, Europe Legaue and also the EPL. Of course they will be very determined to win this match. Based on various betting odds, Liverpool is the favorite. However, whether this will meet expectations or not, then this will be different in the next match.
However, the problem is, this is related to Chelsea, which has the potential for there to be problems related to UEFA's PSR rules and competitions, if they win this Carabao Cup. Is it possible that this will affect their performance or the results Chelsea are hoping for in the final? Because, if Chelsea win the cup, this will actually put Todd Boehly in quite a difficult situation?

Chelsea winning Sunday's Carabao Cup final and qualifying for next season's UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) play-offs would present a number of financial complications to co-owner Todd Boehly. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has suggested the Blues could look to agree a one-year ban with European football's governing body as an act of damage limitation.
Chelsea winning the Carabao Cup this weekend may leave Todd Boehly in a sticky situation.
