Man City cup final team selection 'not easy' for Manuel Pellegrini

Manuel Pellegrini admits it is "not easy" for him to select a team for Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Sunderland.

The Manchester City boss has been fielding a second-string side throughout the competition, but hints that his first-team stars may return, including striker Sergio Aguero, who has been absent with a hamstring problem.

On Friday, Pellegrini was given a two-match European touchline ban by Uefa for criticising the referee after his side's 2-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg defeat against Barcelona.
