Pep Guardiola has provided some early team news ahead of Chelsea's trip to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening. Manchester City are set to lock horns with the Blues on November 9 in the Carabao Cup third round and the Spaniard has named a number of players who will feature in the squad.
Erling Haaland was omitted from the starting XI to face Fulham following his return from injury. The 22-year-old picked up a knock in the Champions League last week upon his return to Borussia Dortmund and missed the previous pair of City matches.
The striker was brought off the bench to replace Julian Alvarez with little under half an hour to play. And, Haaland wasted no time and he was quickly among the goals, netting a match-winning penalty late into stoppage time, despite the hosts going down to 10 men with Joao Cancelo sent off after just 26 minutes.
