Man City vs Watford

Manchester City will be looking to make it three wins from three when they host Watford in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday night.

City have made a perfect start to the season, winning their opening two Premier League games against West Ham and Bournemouth, and they will be confident of extending that run against a Watford side who have lost their first two matches in the Championship.

Pep Guardiola is expected to make changes to his team for the cup game, with the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan and Aymeric Laporte all in contention to start. Watford boss Slaven Bilic is also likely to make changes, with new signing Joao Pedro pushing for a start.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm at the Etihad Stadium. Here is everything you need to know about the game.
