Have Bernarbe and Doyle been training with the first team? Have any of the younger players apart from Foden and Garcia?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

For who though? I think Garcia needs an experienced player next to him and we should be resting Fernandinho whenever possible.

F'dinho has sat out most of the season so far.

I'd play a back 4 of.

Cancelo, F'dinho, Garcia, Angelino.

Foden and Jesus in - not bothered with the rest.

Not sure if this has already been asked, but will there be streams available for this? Not always a given for early round cup ties.

Think it all changed last season so your first sentence is now redundant, I'm sure some geek will clarify shortly. ;)

I’m not sure that’s true, both Roman Saiss and Ashley Maitland-Niles got sent off yesterday and will miss the mid-week league cup games through suspension.

Maybe they changed it to how it operates in Scotland. There, if there is a red card fr violent conduct, the mandatory suspension is for the next match in any competition. If it is two yellow cards or a red not for violent conduct, it applies for the next match in the same competition.

Hope he is nowhere near the game - we can ill afford to have him get injured against opposition we should comfortably beat without him

 

[JGL07]

Well he's won every Carabao game for the last 2 seasons, so I really don't know where you are coming from ;-)

Pep put out a fairly weak team at Old Trafford in his first season and lost 1-0.

City have only lost two EFL Cup matches in the last six seasons. I don't expect this this to add to that list.

Bein are showing the game so sure there will be, only problem being the risk that with only one provider (last time I checked) the choice of reliable streams diminishes.
