Just two days after facing Arsenal in a top-of-the-table clash, Manchester City will compete again on Tuesday in the Carabao Cup, hosting Championship team Watford. While Pep Guardiola’s squad has established itself as a dominant force in English football, it has been nearly four years since City last reached the EFL Cup final, England’s secondary knockout tournament.
Watford is currently positioned eighth in the Championship, having secured three wins out of their first six matches. The Hornets progressed to this stage of the tournament by defeating MK Dons and Plymouth Argyle.
The third-round Carabao Cup match between Manchester City and Watford is set to take place at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, September 24. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. BST in the UK, which corresponds to 2:45 p.m. ET and 11:45 a.m. PT in the US, and 4:45 a.m. AEDT on Wednesday, September 25 in Australia.
After playing in the Premier League just two days prior, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is expected to make several changes to his lineup for the EFL Cup match against Watford.
