Manchester City hosts Brentford tonight at the Etihad Stadium for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The home team, led by Pep Guardiola, is seeking their sixth consecutive victory and aims to continue their path to a trophy that the Catalan coach has already won four times.
City arrives in great form, driven by a stellar Phil Foden (six goals in four matches), although they will present rotations and significant absences such as Stones, Kovacic, and Doku. Additionally, both teams suffer absences due to the African Cup of Nations, like Marmoush for City and Ouattara for the “Bees”.
Brentford, 15th in the Premier League, relies on the instincts of Igor Thiago, the league’s second top scorer after Haaland. Despite having three matches without a win, Keith Andrews’ team dreams of reaching their first-ever semi-finals and causing an upset against the Manchester giant.
