Capital One Cup Quarter Final time and both nights saw a surprise win and an easily predictable win so we will begin with Tuesday which saw Man City through to the semi finals with a 3-1 away win over Championship side Leicester, Kolarov handed the Blues the lead in the eighth minute with a second half double from Dzeko putting them in control at 3-0 but Leicester pulled one back through Dyer with thirteen minutes left to give them a chance of a comeback but the Blues held on.
Sunderland sat 17 places behind opponents Chelsea in the league table but that meant nothing when it comes to the cup as they hoped to add a positive to their season but they were cursing their luck after 46 minutes as Cattermole scored an own goal but they were saved by Borini in the 88th minute and went into extra time confident.
Both teams pushed for the win as a shootout would add to what has been a packed month already for the two sides but with two minutes remaining that worry disappeared as Ki stunned Chelsea with the winning goal to propel his side to the semi finals and two games from a famous Wembley appearance.
Wednesday saw a fairly routine victory for Man United with a 2-0 win away to Stoke with goals from Young and Evra but it was the London derby at White Hart Lane that saw a surprise, Tim Sherwood took charge after AVB's sacking at the weekend and the recall of Adebayor looked to have paid off as they took the lead with a goal from the returning attacker in the 67th minute but a two goals in five minutes from the Hammers secured a smash and grab win, Jarvis levelled in the 80th minute with Maiga sealing the win and a semi final place in the 85th minute.
The draw for the two-legged semi finals was made after last nights games and it was no surprise that the Manchester rivals were drawn apart meaning the prospect of a meeting in the final is very likely but many said that about Spurs and Chelsea and were very long so you never know it could be a West Ham v Sunderland final.
Sunderland v Man United
Man City v West Ham.
