It was John Stones who poked home early in the second half to put City ahead, before Fernandinho fired a shot from just outside the box to seal victory.
As it stands, City are now only the second side to reach four consecutive League Cup finals, after Liverpool between 1981 and 1984.
They face Tottenham Hotspur in the April 25 final at Wembley. Spurs, who saw off Brentford to reach final on Tuesday, are seeking their first major trophy in 14 years.
