Manchester City switch their attention back to claiming a fourth successive EFL Cup triumph on Tuesday when they take on struggling Arsenal in the quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side have lifted the trophy in each of the past three seasons - and five times in the last seven years - and could take another stride towards Wembley with victory in North London.
Man City go into the match off the back of a 1-0 win at Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, and face an Arsenal side in dreadful form under Guardiola's former protege Mikel Arteta.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
