Manchester City
In what may go down as the most forgettable appearance of his career, Rodri went down twice in the weekend's draw, one after a fifth-second clash with Kai Havertz and then with an apparent serious knee injury, although City fans are anxiously awaiting news on his condition.
Despite Guardiola suggesting that Kevin De Bruyne (groin) could have been available for the clash with Arsenal, the Belgian - as reports suggested - was not in the matchday squad and should not be thrown back into action against second-tier opposition either. Oscar Bobb (leg) and Nathan Ake (thigh) are also sidelined.
A full 11 changes cannot be ruled out by the City boss, who could also plunder the club's Under-21s ranks to help fill his selection for Tuesday's game, where the highly-rated Nico O'Reilly could play a prominent role.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Simpson-Pusey, Wilson-Esbrand; Nunes, Wright; O'Reilly, McAtee, Grealish; Foden
Watford
Meanwhile, Watford's efforts against Norwich were not helped by two early defensive withdrawals, as goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann and centre-back Francisco Sierralta were both taken off within just a few minutes of each other in the first quarter of the game.
It is still unclear how serious their issues are, but neither should be expected to appear at the Etihad given the quick turnaround, so backup goalkeeper Jonathan Bond and Ryan Porteous ought to be drafted into the XI as their replacements.
Kevin Keben (knee) is also out of contention for the Hornets, while striker Daniel Jebbison is cup-tied, having played for Bournemouth in the second round before his loan move to Vicarage Road.
Watford possible starting lineup:
Bond; Morris, Pollock, Porteous; Andrews, Dele-Bashiru, Sissoko, Sema; Chakvetadze, Baah; Bayo
Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Watford
