Manchester City fielded a heavily rotated team just two days after a feisty Premier League match against Arsenal and still had too much for second-tier Watford in the English League Cup.

Matheus Nunes scored his first Manchester City goal in his 34th appearance as the hosts eased to a 2-1 victory over second-tier Watford to reach the fourth round of the League Cup on Tuesday. Jeremy Doku slotted in City's opener after five minutes and Nunes produced a clinical finish in the 38th minute to put Pep Guardiola's side in control at The Etihad.
