27.09.2023 - 09:59 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester City face a tough trip to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup tonight. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both got on the scoresheet at the weekend as City beat Nottingham Forest 2-0, keeping up their 100 per cent winning start to the Premier League season.

Rodri was sent off in the victory, meaning Pep Guardiola will have to deal with more problems ahead of the trip to St. James’ Park.

The two sides have already met once this season, with City edging past the Magpies in a 1-0 win. The Carabao Cup was the only competition that City failed to win last season, dropping out in the quarter-finals after a shock 2-0 loss to Southampton.

So, could City advance in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday despite their injuries? Let's take a look.
