Manchester City FC

The City boss wants to keep his squad fresh but rotation is difficult with Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne likely to be unavailable for the fourth-round tie along with long-term absentees Rodri and Oscar Bobb.

His need to protect the squad is exacerbated by a tough run of away fixtures with trips to Bournemouth and Brighton in the Premier League sandwiched by a Champions League clash against Sporting CP in Portugal.

The 16-year-old defender Kaden Braithwaite impressed on his debut in the third round victory over Championship side Watford at the Etihad.

But Guardiola says he needs to be careful with young players for the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 20:15 (UK) with Ange Postecoglu’s side looking for a response from their defeat at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

SPURS V CITY | MATCH PREVIEW

“There is someone,” Pep said when asked about Academy players. “But we play against Spurs when they are coming from a defeat.

“I know what happened, mentally and for the manager and the players playing against City, sorry to tell you again, four Premier League titles in a row, I know they will be at their best.

“The Carabao Cup, also, we won four times in a row. Always, I use the first rounds to play the guys who didn’t play maybe regularly.

“But now we have a problem. We have a lot of injured players. I cannot take as much, but I don’t want to put that much pressure on the young, young players to be in this stage against this opponent for the way they play.

“That’s why I have to make a mix for the players. Split minutes. We will arrive home at 2am or 3am on Wednesday night and Friday we have to travel to Bournemouth.

“It’s a really intense game, the way they play and the way they are, that’s why we have to try and think about it and keep one eye on that.

“And after travel to Lisbon, the recovery will be so difficult this time. That’s why you have to take a look at how the players come back and today in training, how fresh [they are] and try to minimise the mistakes in the selection.”

De Bruyne has returned to training but the City boss says he is feeling some discomfort when he plays and is not yet ready to return to first team action.

Of the players that missed the Premier League victory over Southampton on Saturday, Guardiola is not expecting anyone back for the clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the 20:15 (UK) kick-off.

Asked about when De Bruyne could return, Guardiola said: “I would like to tell you, and especially I would like to know it, but I don’t know right now.

“He feels better in training, but to go to the level we need in competition, when he kicks the ball, sometimes he still has pain.

“He doesn’t feel right, and Kevin has to feel good to express his huge talent that he has.

“He’s feeling better, but not the best.

“It’s for sure that if these guys don’t come back as quick as possible, we’ll struggle, because we cannot sustain it on just 14 or 15 players the whole season.

“We need players to come back, but it is what it is. Hopefully it can happen after the international break.”

As well as De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish missed the 1-0 win over Southampton as well as long-term absentees Oscar Bobb and Rodri.

Guardiola has said the Spanish midfielder is likely to be out for the season after having knee surgery.

Rodri won the Ballon d’Or on Monday night as the best player in the world and the boss says he’s obviously a big loss but that the team has to cope without him.

“Without Rodri, we are less strong,” he added. “With him, we are better. With Kevin, we are better. And with Kyle Walker, we are better. And with Oscar and all the people without the long injuries, we are better.

“But he has to recover well for next season. We have to handle the team game-by-game and try to win games.

“The challenge is to win tomorrow against Spurs, play a good game, and in the other ones, and we will see at the end of the season what happens.

“Imagine any sport, in basketball, if Golden State Warriors played without Steph Curry, or Barcelona in their prime playing without Messi, things would have been different, they would be less strong.

“It’s the same with us. Rodri is irreplaceable. We know it, and so do the players, but we have to move on and do it.

City begin the first of four away games before the international break with a fourth-round clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It comes ahead of tough trips to Bournemouth, Portuguese league leaders Sporting CP and Brighton.

SPURS V CITY | MATCH PREVIEW

City last won the Carabao Cup in 2020/21, which was the fourth successive season that we lifted the trophy.

But after beating Championship side Watford in the previous round, Pep Guardiola was making sure his players are ready for another challenge for silverware, starting with the tough trip to Tottenham.

He will face questions from approximately 12:30 (UK), with the stream at the top of the page to start when he walks into the room.

The boss will speak about the threat of Ange Postecoglou’s side, his thoughts on the Carabao Cup and - undoubtedly - Rodrigo‘s Ballon d’Or success in Paris last night.

City go into the game at Spurs looking to preserve our unbeaten start to the season across all competitions, having won 11 of our 14 games so far in 2024/25.

We reached the last-16 of the tournament with a 2-1 win over Watford while Spurs won at Coventry City by the same scoreline.

This is the first meeting between the sides in this competition since the 2020/21 final, which we won 1-0 at Wembley.

Guardiola is looking to win his fifth League Cup as City boss after claiming the trophy four years in a row between 2018 and 2021.

City beat Southampton 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon and now face four away games in a row across three competitions.

That runs begins with the fourth round trip to north London this midweek and with such a gruelling schedule, Guardiola insists he will prioritise the Premier League and Champions League matches that follow our next assignment.

City 1-0 Southampton | Match report

“We talked about that, we have to take care of ourselves; go to sleep, drinks, good food, sleep a lot, training, recovery,” he said in Saturday’s post-match press conference.

“I would love to have everyone, it’s not the position we’re in, we are few people and we’re going to do what we have to do.

“I’m going to think about Spurs, maybe some players from the Academy. We will see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we have four days not three.

“Of course we will go there to compete but the main target is Bournemouth, Sporting and Brighton before the international break, this is the focus.

“We will take a decision and if the players are fine we will play them against Spurs but if there are any doubts I’m not going to take a risk against Spurs, that’s for sure.”

Guardiola was speaking after seeing his side edge out the Premier League’s bottom side thanks to an early Erling Haaland goal.

City had 22 shots in total but couldn’t put the game to bed and instead required a solid defensive performance to keep Russell Martin’s newly promoted side at bay.

The boss believes his team did enough to win the game but reflected that how tight it was demonstrates just how difficult it is to compete for silverware across multiple fronts.

“When I finish the game of course the result is the first thing, but I think: Have we done more than the opponent to win the game?” he began.

“We create more chances and conceded fewer? Okay, well deserved.

“Always I think about what we have done to deserve the win. Sometimes you win when you didn’t deserve it, like Fulham for example in certain moments, especially the second half.

“I like to see the team most of the time deserve the win more than the opponents and this is the main target from my point of view.

“I’m not surprised when you play Premier League, Champions League, Premier League and Southampton had all week to prepare for that game.

“If you don’t get a second or third, it’s always difficult but we accept the challenge. It couldn’t be any different.

“Look at Wolves, how good they can play, and look now at Southampton they are bottom of the league.

“These teams that are bottom of the league, what did you do with the other ones? That is my feeling.”

Pep Guardiola will be facing the media at the pre-match press conference from 13:30 (UK) on Tuesday 29 October, where the City boss will provide all the latest team news updates, and you can follow it live on mancity.com and our official app.

PREVIOUS MEETING

Our last league cup clash with Spurs was in the final of the competition in 2021, where Aymeric Laporte’s goal proved to be the difference and helped us claim our fourth consecutive Carabao Cup.

With 8,000 supporters in attendance – the most at any game in England since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic – Guardiola’s men rose to the occasion at Wembley, where the win was made all the sweeter by the sight of 2,000 City fans celebrating at full-time.

The last time we faced Spurs across any competition was in May 2024, where Erling Haaland’s second half brace saw City secure a priceless 2-0 victory– and moved Pep Guardiola’s side back to the top of the Premier League table and within one win of a historic fourth straight title, which we went on to claim later in the month.

LAST TIME OUT

We reached this stage of the competition by beating Watford 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium, as Matheus Nunes scored his first goal for the Club, with Jeremy Doku scoring the other.

In league terms, we secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Southampton thanks to Erling Haaland‘s early goal.

As for Spurs, late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson helped them overcome Championship side Coventry in the last round.

They face Crystal Palace in the league on Sunday, with kick-off at 14:00 (UK).

Gareth Taylor’s side face Tottenham Hotspur on Friday 8 November with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 (UK).

City currently sit top of the WSL table and are yet to taste defeat in 2024/25, picking up seven points out of a possible nine.

CITY v SPURS | BUY YOUR ETIHAD TICKETS

Things have been equally impressive in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, with the Blues qualifying for the group stages with an 8-0 aggregate win over Paris FC.

But Tottenham have also started strongly this season as they look to build on arguably their most successful campaign to date, reaching the 2024 FA Cup final alongside a sixth-placed finish in the WSL.

Indeed, but for a 95th minute winner from Liverpool in their last outing, the Lilywhites would also still be unbeaten across the campaign so far.

It all points towards a thrilling showdown between two sides who faced each other four times last season, with City winning three of those encounters.

And the latest clash between the sides will take place under the Etihad lights, our first fixture there since a 3-1 Manchester derby win back in March 2024.

A Jess Park brace and record-breaking Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw strike earned City a crucial three points and local bragging rights in front of over 40,000 fans in what was our fourth competitive fixture at the stadium.

Tickets are available from just £15. For more information on how to purchase, click here.

Additionally, supporters can secure their seats for the trio of WSL fixtures to be played at the Etihad through the Hat-Trick Pack at a price of £40 for adults and £12 for U16s.

The Club has received an allocation of 5,794 tickets, including 26 wheelchair bays and a number of tickets for ambulant supporters.

All tickets for this fixture will be issued as mobile tickets.

Juniors under 14 must be accompanied by an adult over 18.

From this allocation, the following groups will receive tickets for this match: Season Ticket Members, Seasonal Hospitality Members, Owner, Board of Directors, Football Management, Players, Club Officials and Staff, Former Players, Club Partners and the Man City Supporters Club.

Similar to previous seasons, Season Ticket Members aged between 18 and 25 years old registered on the League Cup Scheme (based on supporter’s age on 1st August 2024) can purchase from an exclusive allocation of away match tickets on the first day of sale.

However, for the 2024/25 season, to help improve the purchase journey, the Club will assign the 5% allocation for 18–25-year-olds to a specific block in the away section.

Fans with the necessary ticket points to be able to buy in the first window will be excluded from this allocation and can select a seat in a location of their choosing.

Any tickets that are not purchased on this day will be added to the wider allocation for Season Ticket Members.

The game will be played on Wednesday 30 October, with kick-off at 20:15 (UK) – and Sky Sports Main Event will televise the fixture for viewers in the UK.

It is a repeat of the 2020/21 final, when Aymeric Laporte‘s second-half header earned City a 1-0 win at Wembley the last time we lifted the trophy.

City have won the Carabao Cup eight times in our history, second only to Liverpool who have lifted the trophy on ten occasions.
