Man City XI vs Tottenham: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Carabao Cup today | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola expected to make changes for trip to Spurs

Manchester City could tonight name a youthful lineup for their Carabao Cup clash with Tottenham later today.

Man City beat Southampton 1-0 on Saturday thanks to Erling Haaland’s goal but now must switch focus to one of the domestic cups.

While Guardiola has enjoyed winning this particular tournament during his trophy-laden time in charge at City, he may make sweeping changes for the trip to north London.

The City boss hinted after the Saints game that he’d turn to some of his academy players, with many of his first-team options ruled out but stressed he was looking to win the game regardless of the lineup.

"Few players [out], but we're going to try and do a good game, try and go through.

Kevin De Bruyne is yet to feature since going off against Inter Milan in September, while Ballon d’Or winner Rodri will not play again this season.

Oscar Bobb is not expected back until January, while all of Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku are doubts.

Man City predicted XI: Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Braithwaite, Ake; O'Reilly; Savinho, McAtee, Gundogan, Nunes; Foden

Injured: De Bruyne, Rodri, Bobb

Doubts: Doku, Walker, Grealish

Time and date: 8.15pm GMT tonight on Wednesday 30 October 2024

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
