Our bench??

Very odd that Lopes is only on the bench? Presumably he has picked up a knock, as he runs that team. Same for Denayer?

GOAL CITY!!! Sinan Bytyqi fires the Blues into the lead after a slide rule pass out to the right by Hiwula. His sixth of the season.

Probably just rotation

Do you really rotate your two best players in a semi final? Seems odd if so, either that or the U21 League Cup isn't seen as much of a big deal (I have no idea about the structure or prestige of the reserve teams, they seem to change every year)
