🚨 Line-ups confirmed: City host Brentford in the EFL Cup | OneFootball

Manchester City hosts Brentford tonight at the Etihad Stadium for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The home side, managed by Pep Guardiola, are seeking their sixth consecutive victory and to continue their pursuit of a trophy that the Catalan coach has already won four times.

City comes into the match in top form, driven by a stellar Phil Foden (six goals in four matches), although they will rotate the squad and have key absences such as Stones, Kovacic, and Doku. Additionally, both teams are missing players due to the Africa Cup of Nations, like Marmoush for City and Ouattara for the "Bees".

Brentford, 15th in the Premier League, are relying on the instincts of Igor Thiago, the league's second top scorer behind Haaland. Despite going three matches without a win, Keith Andrews' team dreams of reaching their first-ever semi-finals and causing an upset against the Manchester giants.
