Manchester City is gearing up to introduce their highly-talented young player, Kaden Braithwaite, who will soon be the third-youngest player to make his debut in the club's illustrious 130-year history. Aged just 16, Braithwaite has caught the eye of manager Pep Guardiola with his impressive performances in training, leading to his inclusion in the starting lineup for the Carabao Cup third-round match against Watford. This marks a significant milestone for the teenager as he becomes the youngest player under Guardiola's tenure to receive a first-team opportunity.

Braithwaite's versatility and physical attributes have been key factors in earning him this exciting opportunity at Manchester City. The young defender, who can operate as a full-back or left-sided center-back, has showcased his abilities by starting in all four under-18 games this season. Having signed for City at a young age, Braithwaite has progressed through the junior academy ranks and follows in the footsteps of other promising talents like Phil Foden and Cole Palmer. His promotion to the under-18 age group full-time during the summer, coupled with his vice-captaincy status under coach Oliver Reiss, demonstrates the high regard in which he is held within the club.

As Manchester City looks to navigate through the Carabao Cup tie against Watford, the young prodigy's inclusion reflects Guardiola's faith in Braithwaite's potential impact on the field. The club's rich history of nurturing young talent has set the stage for Braithwaite to shine, and his debut at such a tender age speaks volumes about his talent and dedication. With the eight-time League Cup winners aiming to continue their success in the competition, fans are eager to witness the promising teenager's contribution in what promises to be a memorable evening for both Braithwaite and Manchester City.
