Pep Guardiola is ready to make ELEVEN changes to his Manchester City team for the clash with promotion-chasing Wolves.

The Blues' League Cup fourth round tie will be their fourth game in ten days and nine of Guardiola's front-line troops have started the previous three.

The manager gave rests to Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling at the weekend, so they are likely to step back in to the starting line-up – but contrary to his claim he will change the entire team, Guardiola has hinted that Sergio Aguero will make a second consecutive start start as he returns from injury.

With 20-year-old Aleks Zinchenko set to make his debut at left back, Guardiola will also draft in a host of players who have been on the fringes of the team this season, in a game where victory would mean a new club record of 12 consecutive wins.

Bernardo Silva is set to keep his place after starting in the 3-0 win over Burnley, but Ilkay Gundogan, Claudio Bravo, Danilo, Eliaquim Mangala and Yaya Toure are virtual certainties to start – whether Tosin Adarabioyo joins them remains to be seen.

City's two most promising youngsters are not in the reckoning with Brahim Diaz getting injured for the under-23s at the weekend and Phil Foden on World Cup duty with England under-17s.

But Guardiola said there will be big changes: “On Tuesday we will play 11 new players.

“There are a lot of games and maybe there are players now who play more regularly than other ones – but in February and March that isn't going to happen.

“Everybody will be involved as you can't play the same players in every game in all competitions.”
