MAN CITY TEAM NEWS: Manchester City take on Leicester this evening in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Pep Guardiola’s men travel to the King Power Stadium to take on the Foxes as they bid to defend the trophy they won last season.
The Spaniard has indicated that he will field a strong side for the match, with a number of key players injured right now, but a few youngsters are still likely to feature.
David Silva is out until early January with a hamstring problem, while Benjamin Mendy won’t return until February as he recovers from a knee injury.
Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is still out with a ruptured Achilles so Aru Muric should play for the third consecutive Carabao Cup clash.
Danilo (knock) and John Stones (knee) could both return to the line-up though after brief lay-offs, and Kevin De Bruyne will definitely start for the first time since his second knee injury of the season.
Sergio Aguero is also ready to start after a groin injury forced him out for the past couple of weeks.
Aymeric Laporte could be rested with Vincent Kompany coming in, with Oleksandr Zinchenko likely to play at left-back.
In cental midfield, Ilkay Gundogan could play the Fernandinho role, with the Brazilian having been overworked this season and plenty more Premier League games coming up.
Phil Foden should get a start after impressing against Hoffenheim last week, and Raheem Sterling is also likely to play after being benched at the weekend.
Brahim Diaz may not be involved, with the youngster rumoured to be moving to Real Madrid next month.
