Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he won’t bow to pressure but will keep playing the kids in the Carabao Cup.
He made this known after the team’s 2-1 win over Watford on Tuesday.
Reacting after the game, Guardiola said that he wouldn’t waste his energy using the senior players for the competition.
“The next round, I announce you, I play the second team.

“We are not going to waste energy, for sure.
“The schedule is the schedule, we cannot handle it anyway.
“Today for (James) McAtee, Matheus (Nunes), Jack (Grealish), Phil (Foden), who didn’t play, the young lad, 16 years old, it’s perfect.
“That’s why it’s a good competition, otherwise we wouldn’t win four in a row.
“We play to go through. We never throw a competition. Never. But we played 50 hours ago. I’m not going to risk with the Premier League and the Champions League in this competition.”
