They beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday without Ederson, Kyle Walker, Ferran Torres and Gabriel Jesus, and Guardiola says he still has limited numbers to pick from ahead of the derby at Old Trafford on Wednesday. We don t have many players and like I said after the first press conference, to play one or two games is OK, but if this sustains for a long time and I can only use 14 or 15 players, it will be more difficult, Guardiola said. Like everyone in the world, we adapt, you have to adjust our lives and our professions as much as possible and we don t have an alternative.

Fernandinho and Riyad Mahrez are restored to Manchester City’s starting line-up as Pep Guardiola makes two changes for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester United.
Guardiola has largely kept faith with the team that started in the brilliant 3-1 win at Chelsea on Sunday, though City are boosted by the return of Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker, who are amongst the substitutes after their periods of self-isolation ended.
With six senior players absent due to illness or injury, 18-year-old goalkeeper James Trafford and 17-year-old defender Luke Mbete are also included on the bench.
