Leicester, Man City make widescale changes

Pep Guardiola has made multiple changes as Manchester City travel to the King Power to face Leicester City in Tuesday night's EFL Cup quarter-final clash.

Only Eliaquim Mangala and Ilkay Gundogan remain from the starting XI which claimed a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.

Claudio Bravo, Danilo, Tosin Adarabioyo, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Phil Foden, Yaya Toure, Brahim Diaz, Bernando Silva and Gabriel Jesus all get starts.

The players out of the XI are Ederson, Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Fabian Delph, Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane.

Likewise, Claude Puel has opted to switch his team around, with seven different starters from their last game and fringe players given a runout.

Ben Hamer, Daniel Amartey, Aleksandar Dragovic, Christian Fuchs, Andy King, Shinji Okazaki and former Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho come into the XI.

Meanwhile, regulars Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Wilfred Ndidi, Riyad Mahrez, Demarai Gray and Jamie Vardy miss out.
