Just two days after their top match against Arsenal, Manchester City faces Watford in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium. Despite Manchester City’s dominant reputation in English football, they have not reached the EFL Cup final in nearly four years.

Following a recent Premier League match, manager Pep Guardiola is expected to implement significant rotation in his squad for this tie against Watford.
