Manchester City's quest for a ninth Carabao Cup begins this week against Watford at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's team is fresh off a feisty 2–2 draw at home against Arsenal. City took a 1-0 lead early on as Erling Haaland scored his 100th goal for the club before goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel put the Gunners in front. However, John Stones would find a late equalizer for City deep into stoppage time to deny Arsenal, who was playing with 10 men, all three points.
