Manchester City will use their midweek League Cup clash as a way to bed in players who are not fully fit.
Boss Pep Guardiola outlined to reporters that first teamers such as Mateo Kovacic and Jack Grealish will be playing.
The duo will feature, among a team of mostly fringe players, against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
Jack is much better, Mateo as well," Guardiola said in his prematch news conference.
I don't know how many minutes, from the beginning or second half, but they're going to play minutes, yeah."
He will start," the boss added on Kalvin Phillips.
Not just this week but for many times since he arrived, Rodri has been really important, his consistency, he knows everything, the game like what happened against Forest.
The second half was a little bit more defensively, you have to do the process, and [Phillips] made three or four incredible options to help us breathe.
We have to make the process in small spaces and tried to help him to make this step.
Of course the game tomorrow is important for the next ones, we'll see in every single game and I will decide what is best for the team."
