Man City ace De Bruyne: We love League Cup here; we're different to other clubs

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is determined to win a third Carabao Cup today.

Against Aston Villa, City are aiming to make it three consecutive Carabao Cup victories having beaten Chelsea and Arsenal in the last two seasons.

“Not everyone prioritises it in the same way that we do," claimed De Bruyne. “We're here to win trophies and the League Cup is an important competition in the history of English football.

“To have reached four finals in my five seasons here shows how much attention we pay to it.

“Players dream of walking out at Wembley and lifting trophies; that's what we've done over the last few seasons and it's what we hope to do again on Sunday.

“Lifting a trophy so early in the season can push you on for what's to come and obviously momentum plays a huge part in that."
