Manchester City aren't set to rest players for Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Leicester City despite being behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race, says manager Pep Guardiola.
City will have to face a two-legged semi-final in the Carabao Cup in January if they beat Leicester, while Liverpool don't have a fixture to contend with in midweek having been knocked out of the competition earlier in the season by Chelsea.
Guardiola indicated he isn't going to sacrifice the competition by deploying a weakened side against the Foxes, though, when asked if Liverpool were aided by the fixture schedule.
