​Bravo to start for Man City against Wigan

It appears that Pep Guardiola will rotate his keepers again in the FA Cup clash against Wigan.

City are now in the latter stages of the cup, as they compete to win the domestic treble this season. And Wigan are the team that stand in their way right now.

But it seems City will still play Claudio Bravo in the game, instead of regular goalkeeper Ederson.

"Claudio is going to play," said Guardiola.

"We are in the Carabao Cup final (against Arsenal next weekend) thanks to him. I cannot forget what happened - he saved two rounds of penalties.

"It all depends on the performance and the quality but, in this competition, Claudio is going to play.

"In the top clubs you need two good goalkeepers, you cannot survive with just one - (what) if he is injured or suspended and the second one doesn't have the level?

"All the big clubs who play a lot of competitions have two good goalkeepers and we have that."
