Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their EFL Cup third-round clash with Watford.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Hornets, who have eliminated MK Dons and Plymouth Argyle to reach the third round.
