Guardiola says Trafford will start EFL Cup final

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed James Trafford will be in goal for Sunday's Carabao Cup final at Wembley, but Mikel Arteta has refused to say who will be Arsenal's starting keeper.

Guardiola said he will continue his policy of playing Trafford in domestic cup matches, although he did not offer any assurances over the 23-year-old's long-term situation.

Trafford rejoined City from Burnley last summer in a £27m switch and had been seen as the replacement for Ederson.

However, he was soon edged out of a starting spot as the club signed Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris St-Germain.
