Preview
A fun match here as two new entrants fight for advancement to the final. The match should be a lot of fun as both clubs would love to advance to a final. City should win even with some rotation in the cards.
In this match, the questions are who will play in defense for City as they suffer through injuries. For NUFC, it will be how they deal with City’s forwards.
Pep Guardiola Preview
“So when you play Carabao Cup it’s a different competition and Champions League is another one and Premier League and the other ones.
“Of course, results helps but confidence is every action and every five minutes and building and breathe in the bad actions and bad moments immediately and go to the next one.”

Man City will have Gvardiol, Bobb, Dias, Savinho, Rodri, Doku, Stones, Cherki and Kovacic as questionable or out.
NUFC have Krafth, Schar, Livramento, and Joelinton as out/questionable.

Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle United
