"When City play well, you have to play very well" Oily
The game is afoot, We have reached our 4th League Cup Final in a row and whilst I could wander off, I shall return to the subject of the preview, the Opponents in City's 3rd Round tie of the World's most famous domestic trophy, who beaten by City 3-1 in the 1956 Final at Wembley in which City's legendary Goalkeeper broke his neck but managed to finish the game.
Aitor Karanka’s Birmingham have endured a frustrating first half to the campaign and currently lie in 18th place in the Championship. He has been quoted as saying they are coming to the Etihad to have a go. We shall see if they have also brought the bus.
Manchester City on their official site mancity.com will have the pre-game show We Are Not Really Here (WNRH# if tweeting) They’ll be joined in the studio at the Etihad Stadium by presenter Natalie Paweleck and will be providing their expert analysis before kick-off, at half-time and after the full-time whistle. Andy Morrison and Richard Dunne are the special guests on our live matchday show for this game.
City Team News
Pep Guardiola has confirmed that barring any issues in training Sergio Aguero is likely to start Sunday's game.
However the boss stated he would see how Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus train before deciding whether they could start in Sunday's clash with Birmingham.
City will also monitor the fitness of Nathan Ake and Aymeric Laporte who were both ruled out of our Carabao Cup win at Manchester United.
Ederson, Ferran Torres and Tommy Doyle could also return to training on Saturday if they provide a negative COVID-19 test.
Cole Palmer and Scott Carson will both be unavailable after recent positive tests. (information courtesy of mancity.com)
