As far as I can see both are still on, City likely to be without 5 players for both at present
I thought I read that they'd been given a postponement of the semi final which pissed me off considering what happened to orient.
Read that the rule were different after the 4th round.
Glad to be wrong!

rule is different in the league cup from 4th round presumably the "reason" being bigger cap between rounds so easier to reschedule rather than it might mean binning a big PL team <whistle>

He was clearly kicked. Definite penalty.
If there was any contact (debatable), it is Pogba`s gangly leg clipping the Villa defender, which causes Pogba to trip himself up. Not clear at all, and not a definite penalty (unless you play in a red shirt of course). I have watched it several times and still can not see the Villa defender motion to kick Pogba. It was another fortunately awarded penalty which trousered extra points for a team from the Northwest.

Let’s be honest, if that was Burnley or Sheff Utd then the penalty wouldn’t have been given.
 
Just goes to show, defend all game like Jose or just pass it around midfield like van Gaal and you get less penalty's.
Attack and get men in the box like Ole and other teams panic.

Yeah because that’s why you get so many penalties isn’t it.

Like I said earlier, if that was a Burnley or Sheff Utd player going down like Pogba did then there would be no penalty given.
