Manchester City youngster Manu Garcia hopes to see Capital One Cup action tonight against Sunderland.

The 17-year-old is champing at the bit to play in a competitive contest.

"I've been training with the first-team quite a lot this season and it is really good to work with them because we have so much quality in our squad," the Spaniard told City's website.

"In all honesty I didn't expect to go on tour with the first-team but things went really well and I'm really happy with the way things are going.

"The Capital One Cup is a competition that is really exciting for all the younger players because we know there is a possibility that we could play and maybe show what we are capable of. It's really positive, not just for me, but for the Club."
