Manchester City right-back Rico Lewis is relishing the prospect of going head-to-head against Mohamed Salah, should both players be selected for Thursday's Carabao Cup clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola recently claimed he 'doesn't have players' available to face the Reds later this week after a number of his City squad reached the latter stages of the World Cup, notably Julian Alvarez, who experienced glory with Argentina in the final on Sunday evening.
With Kyle Walker among the players yet to return to first-team training following England's exit at the hands of France, the Manchester Evening News have suggested Lewis is in line for a start. The 18-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Sky Blues, making five senior appearances, and could now be set for another moment to remember.
