Manchester City faces Newcastle United tonight at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. City currently enjoys a 2-nil aggregate lead following an impressive display at St. James’ Park in the first leg. Pep Guardiola’s team will be keen to secure their spot in the Carabao Cup final, where they will meet Arsenal, the winner of this semi-final.
Here’s the latest injury and team news for Manchester City, along with my predicted starting eleven ahead of this crucial match.

Injury Update for Manchester City
As they head into tonight’s clash, Manchester City is hindered by several injuries. Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, and Savinho are all out. Ruben Dias has returned to training this week but may not be ready to start after a lengthy injury absence.
Pep Guardiola reported to the media yesterday that Rayan Cherki’s fitness is under assessment. The French international suffered a knock following a stern challenge from Cristian Romero in last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Marc Guehi is not eligible to participate in tonight’s match. If City advances to the Carabao Cup final, he will also miss that game. City signed Guehi prior to the first leg of the semi-final, but he wasn’t registered in time to be a part of their Carabao Cup campaign.
