Pellegrini: Hart to sit out if City reach League Cup final

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini will opt for Willy Caballero ahead of Joe Hart should his side reach the League Cup final.

Joe Hart will miss out on another League Cup final should Manchester City overcome a 2-1 first-leg deficit against Everton in midweek.

City's reserve Willy Caballero has started every game in the competition this season and manager Manuel Pellegrini hinted the Argentine goalkeeper will maintain his place in the team even when a trophy is on offer.

England number one Hart was absent from the 2014 League Cup final and Pellegrini appears unwilling to switch tact.
