Manchester City get their 2022-23 EFL Cup campaign underway on Wednesday when they go head to head with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side extended their winning streak against Fulham to 13 games on Saturday when goals from Julian Alvarez and Erling Braut Haaland condemned the Cottagers to a 2-1 defeat.

The Citizens, who are currently second in the Premier League standings with 32 points from 13 games, now turn their attention to the EFL Cup, where they will be looking to surpass last season's disappointing fourth-round exit and challenge for a fifth title in six years.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Chelsea, who lost on penalties when the sides met in the 2019-20 EFL Cup final.
