Pep Guardiola’s team will travel to Kenilworth Road on Tuesday, February 27th, with the match set to begin at 8:00 PM (UK time). A win for City in this game would ensure their place in the quarter-finals, following a hard-fought victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League just over 72 hours earlier. Phil Foden’s winning goal on the rebound proved crucial at the Vitality Stadium, bringing City within one point of the league leaders. Guardiola’s club has been unbeaten in 17 matches in all competitions since early December 2023, and they face a demanding fixture calendar ahead.

Given the grueling timetable, prioritizing rest and recuperation becomes crucial as City is active on numerous fronts in the 2023/24 season. Players that took part in the match against Bournemouth have been working hard in the gym to stay in top physical shape for Tuesday’s game. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad has been practicing on the pitch, honing their talents and preparing for what looks to be a tough match against the Hatters.
