Team News
Newcastle
Man City
- Harvey Barnes was forced off through injury against Sheffield United on Sunday and could emerge as a doubt here.
- Eddie Howe will remain without Joelinton, Joe Willock and Emil Krafth for this one.
- Rodri's straight red card against Nottingham Forest on Saturday could hand a start to Kalvin Phillips in the City midfield.
- Pep Guardiola will continue to do without Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones, while Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic will likely miss this one.
hello 22 fouls maybe mistake 24 fouls
@dof100 maybe maybe not
Newcastle very professional at the back, it's a solid team to be proud of. Bobb sucks and Alvarez plays better with Haaland. It shows when up against a tight block like today. I don't think City threw the game because they couldn't have won it if they wanted to anyhow. England shouldn't have an extra tournament anyway, that's just an abuse of players for the pursuit of money.
@tkr The competition was originally intended to filter greater money down to the lower leagues.
@tkr Nah, the League Cup is solid. It's the only thing that still distinguishes English football from all the rest in some way.
No surprises. Pep pretty much announced in the press conference that he plans to throw. No one takes this cup seriously
Are we back to this again? Managers not giving a toss about winning this competition?
Pep is moaning that his team must return by coach after failing to secure a flight back to Manchester resulting in a 142 mile journey.
