NEWCASTLE v MAN CITY

Kick-off: 8pm, Sky Sports

PEP GUARDIOLA has told Kalvin Phillips to show him why he decided to stay at Manchester City – starting tonight in the Carabao Cup. 

Guardiola confirmed Phillips will start the third round tie at Newcastle, with Rodri beginning a three-match ban after his red card at the weekend.

Phillips (above, with Guardiola) had a nightmare first season at City following his £50m move from Leeds, making just four starts in the entire campaign.

The England midfielder could have left this summer, with West Ham an option, but chose to remain at City and fight for his place.
