Local lads Evans, Hiwula to make Man City debuts tonight

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is set to hand first team debuts to two English lads tonight in the Capital One Cup against Aston Villa.

George Evans, the 17-year-old son of former City player and physio Ronnie Evans has been called into the squad after impressing in pre-season.

The England Under-19 midfielder, from Cheadle, is a lifelong City fan.

Another local boy, Stretford Grammar School pupil Jordi Hiwula, is also rumoured to have got the call after starting the season with three goals in four games for the Under-21s.
