Man City in unforgiving mood ahead of Bristol City cup clash, Ilkay Gundogan warns

Ilkay Gundogan has warned Bristol City that Manchester City are in no mood to ease up in the Carabao Cup.

The Germany midfielder wants the runaway Premier League leaders to put one foot firmly in next month’s final by taking a clear advantage in tonight’s semi-final first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

With City needing to juggle the demands of four competitions, squad rotation could be in manager Pep Guardiola’s thoughts but Gundogan insists there will be no loss of intensity.
