Man City vs Watford team news

City could be without Rodri, after he limped off early in the draw with Arsenal, while Kevin De Bruyne missed that match entirely and remains a doubt.

Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb are still unavailable, but Phil Foden could come into the side to make his first start of the season.

As for Watford, Daniel Bachmann and Francisco Sierralta were both forced off earlier against Norwich last time out, with Jonathan Bond and Ryan Porteous first in line to come into the side.

Daniel Jebbison is cup-tied after featuring for Bournemouth earlier in the competition.
