Pep Guardiola Will Start EFL Cup Final Without Marc Guehi

The Manchester City team is expected to make important decisions on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London for the EFL Cup final against Arsenal. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Famous coach Pep Guardiola is forced to play this decisive match without the well-known defender Marc Guehi. The reason is that he was not fully registered before the first leg of the semi-final, making it impossible for him to play in the final.

Therefore, the team has decided to rely on other options in central defense. This was reported by the Sportsmole publication.

According to the coach's latest announced selection, James Trafford is expected to take the goalkeeper position. In front of him, Mateus Nunes and Ryan Ait-Nouri may play as wing-backs.

In central defense, the pairing of Ruben Dias and John Stones is highly likely, as they were chosen as more experienced options instead of Abdukodir Khusanov. In midfield, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Niko O'Reilly are planned to play.

The young player's inclusion in the starting lineup may affect the team's attacking capabilities. If the coach chooses a more balanced scheme, Jérémy Doku may remain on the bench.

In the attacking line, Ryan Sessegnon and Antoine Semenyo are expected to support Erling Haaland. Although the famous striker scored against Real Madrid midweek, he has not achieved victory in the previous six matches at Wembley Stadium.

Therefore, his new major success is very important for the team. Manchester City's probable lineup is expected to be as follows: Trafford; Nunes, Dias, Stones, Ait-Nouri; Silva, Rodri, O'Reilly; Sessegnon, Haaland, Semenyo.

This lineup will help the team to put all its strength into winning the cup. Source: Sportsmole.co.uk
