Pep anticipates greater League Cup performances

Pep Guardiola has challenged his squad to go and repeat last season’s success in the EFL Cup following a thumping Round-3 victory.

Manchester City sent Oxford to the cleaners, with a 3 nil win thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez and a first City goal for Phil Foden.

“Yes, (I saw everything I wanted to see). If the players are here, it is because we trust them. I know how nice the guys are - I see it in every single training session and how they live in the locker room. I am so satisfied."
“The game showed me a lot of things. It was a really good performance.”

“A little bit in front, for the last shoot, we missed a lot but the process was so good - we had a lot of the ball, as always.

“Last season, we won the Carabao Cup but in the first game, it was 2-1 and then we won on penalties. All of the games were so tough. Today, we were so solid in all aspects.”

“Congratulations for us to get to the next round. We are the Champions and we want to continue in the competition as long as possible."

Manchester City will have to wait till the Round 4 Draws on Saturday September 29, in order for them to know who they will face in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup, as their road to successive Wembley glory in this Competition is not far away.
