"Last seen over the weekend putting in another dominant display as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp away at Crystal Palace, the Sky Blues are riding a major wave of momentum. Collecting a heavyweight Champions League scalp last week as they secured a 2-1 win against 15-time European champions Real Madrid, Man City find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high."
"Dealing with what has become an injury nightmare over the past 12 months and not featuring across any competition since the start of November, Manchester City will once again be without midfield talisman Rodri here. Likewise, former Chelsea star Mateo Kovacic remains on the sidelines with a heel issue. While the record-breaking Erling Haaland might have recorded another Premier League brace away at Crystal Palace over the weekend, the Norwegian icon could be handed a rest on Wednesday."
Manchester City host Brentford at the Etihad in an EFL Cup tie. Manchester City recovered from mid-November setbacks with a 3-0 win at Crystal Palace and a 2-1 Champions League victory over Real Madrid. Manchester City have won their previous five matches across competitions by a combined 16-7 scoreline. Rodri and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined with injuries and have not played since early November. Erling Haaland scored a brace at Palace but could be rested with Guardiola expected to rotate and recall Rayan Air Nouri, James Trafford and Omar Marmoush. Brentford started strongly in August but have struggled and drew 1-1 with Leeds.
