Manchester City Defeats Watford in EFL Cup

Manchester City advanced to the EFL Cup fourth round with a 2-1 victory over Watford at the Etihad Stadium. Goals from Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes secured the win, with Doku scoring early in the match and Nunes netting his first for the club. Despite a late scare from Watford, who pulled one back through Tom Ince, City held on for the win. The match saw Pep Guardiola make nine changes to his lineup, including giving 16-year-old Kaden Braithwaite his senior debut. Guardiola also provided an update on midfielder Rodri, who is undergoing medical tests for a knee injury sustained against Arsenal. The club awaits the doctor's decision on Rodri's condition, which remains a concern for the team's future.
