Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of tonight's Carabao Cup clash between Preston North End and Manchester City.
Reeling from a shocking 3-2 defeat at Norwich, Man City hit eight past Watford at the weekend, scoring five times in 18 minutes - the quickest any Premier League side has ever scored that many goals.
Pep Guardiola will ring the changes at Deepdale, but he will still have a side more than capable of inflicting misery on the Lilywhites - who sit third in the Championship after a fine start - unless the hosts are at the top of their game.

Prediction: Preston 0-3 Man City
Even with a number of changes to their starting XI, Man City will have a lineup that is arguably capable of a Premier League title challenge on its own.
Norwich showed that playing out from the back against City's high press can reap rewards, but it is difficult to look beyond anything other than a comprehensive away win.
