Pep Guardiola to push for cup final place for Marc GuehiBy Ian Parker, Press AssociationPep Guardiola said Manchester City will ask the Football League for permission to play Marc Guehi in the Carabao Cup final after they breezed past Newcastle to set up a showdown with Arsenal. While fellow new boy Antoine Semenyo could play, Guehi was ineligible because he joined City after the first leg against Newcastle took place – and the rules mean the England international will be ineligible again come the final on March 22nd. Guardiola acknowledged he did not expect City to be successful, but said they will make their case regardless. “We pride ourselves on being really organised and tactically we want to be able to handle any problem the opposition gives us. “I don’t qute know how bad it was but it was enough for him to come off so that’s a big worry.”
