How Man City should line up vs Burnley in Carabao Cup is based on our writers' opinion.

Manchester City are preparing for a Carabao Cup tie against Burnley. They have a crunch game at Leeds in three days. Liam Delap, Tommy Doyle and Taylor Harwood-Bellis deserve another chance. Cole Palmer is an obvious debutant with Adrian Bernabe injured. Aleks Zinchenko and Aymeric Laporte can return to the defence. Fernandinho and Phil Foden should be rested after their early subbing against Leicester.

Liam Delap, Tommy Doyle, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Cole Palmer should start against Leeds. Rodri should play in the holding role if the double-pivot is abandoned. Bernardo Silva may not play against Burnley. Aleks Zinchenko and Aymeric Laporte should be able to return to the team.

Delap should start again with Taylor Harwood-Bellis coming into defence. Tommy Doyle deserves more minutes to prove to Guardiola that he's worthy of Premier League game time. Aymeric Laporte could be used at the back to gain match sharpness.
