Confirmed match officials: Tottenham v Manchester City (Carabao Cup fourth round)

The EFL has confirmed the list of match officials to oversee proceedings between Tottenham and Manchester City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup this week.

The Premier League heavyweights will clash in north London this week, with the visitors aware that their first team options have been exhausted due to injury and that they face a hectic schedule of fixtures over the next two weeks.

Wednesday night's visit to Tottenham is the first of four consecutive away games for Manchester City in all competitions before the international break, followed by a visit to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The south coast trip will then be followed by another trip to Europe and a visit to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, before returning to the south coast of England to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the top flight.

Therefore, Pep Guardiola will not take any chances in the League Cup this week as he remains keen to compete with Ange Postecoglou's side who are under pressure to win a trophy in their manager's second season at the club.
