City Will Make Guehi Plea for Carabao Cup Final

Manchester City plans to request a rule change from the Football League to allow January signing Marc Guehi to play in the Carabao Cup final despite current eligibility rules.

  • With the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, Mar. 22, Manchester City will ask the Football League for permission to field Marc Guehi, who is ineligible under a timing restriction.
  • Because Guehi joined after the first leg, he missed the semi-final second leg as his transfer completed on Monday, Jan. 19, six days after the first leg on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
  • This season's rule change meant that Antoine Semenyo and Max Alleyne were able to play after appearing for other teams earlier in the competition.
  • Pep Guardiola said the club will write to the competition to request clearance, acknowledging he does not expect automatic success but insisting City will press their case.
  • Looking ahead to Apr. 18, Manchester City will ask for an exception as Guehi cannot play in the final due to a timing restriction, Guardiola said he is perplexed.
