Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola might go for a younger squad in the Carabao Cup match against Tottenham on Wednesday. They just snagged a 1-0 win over Southampton thanks to Erling Haaland’s goal. Guardiola has had a blast in this tournament, but with some squad issues, he might need to shake things up for this trip to North London.

Injury and Squad Updates

After the Southampton game, Guardiola hinted that he could bring in some academy players since key first-team guys are out. Kevin De Bruyne hasn’t played since his injury against Inter Milan in September, and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri is done for the season. Oscar Bobb is also out until January, and Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, and Jeremy Doku are all question marks.

Guardiola said, “I don’t know if I’m going to think against Spurs maybe some players from the academy. If the players are fine, they’re going to play against Spurs, but if they have doubts, I’m not going to take a risk, that’s for sure.”
