Pep Guardiola has jokingly suggested that he is going to play himself when his Manchester City side face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup next month.
City will host Jurgen Klopp’s side after defeating Chelsea 2-0 on Wednesday night. Liverpool progressed after defeating Derby 3-2 on penalties following a goalless 90 minutes between the two teams at Anfield.
The tie is scheduled to take place in the week that follows the conclusion of the World Cup. Both teams are set to lose players to the competition that starts a week on Sunday.
