Caballero will start in Citys League Cup final clash against Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday, a policy upheld by manager Manuel Pellegrini since the 34-year-old joined from Malaga in 2014.And while the Argentine admits it is sometimes difficult being sat on the bench for the majority of the season, both goalkeepers are close to each other during the week. Caballero has played all of Citys Capital One Cup games this season Caballero told Sky Sports: He [Hart] helps me a lot. He gives me information all the time about the strikers and the teams we play, both last year and this year as well. I try to help him during the week because we are fighting during the week to play, but he has the opportunity to do it every week, and I try to be his supporter. Caballero has been Man Citys first-choice goalkeeper in the League Cup this season Sometimes it is really difficult [being on the bench]. But even teams like Liverpool play just one goalkeeper in all competitions, so I feel blessed to be in this team.City last won the League Cup in 2014 with a 3-1 win over Suunderland, a final which saw Costel Pantilimon between the posts and Hart on the bench.dddddddddddd Caballero concedes against Everton in the semi-final first leg clash at Goodison Park Caballero is yet to keep a clean sheet in his five League Cup appearances this campaign, and insists it does not matter if he fails to keep another at Wembley, as long as City get the win.I feel the confidence of the boss to bring me into this game. I try to enjoy it, and try to improve every week. I have to be ready for this date, which will be fantastic for us. England goalkeeper Hart has been Citys No 1 for eight seasons I think it will be a great final. We must be ready for everything, even for penalties. Beating Liverpool will be fantastic but it wont be easy, so we must play well, defend well and be solid. The most important thing is to win, it doesnt matter how.Watch the Capital One Cup final between Liverpool and Manchester City live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 4pm on Sunday.
