Manchester City vs Brentford, Carabao Cup LIVE Streaming Information – How can I watch the EFL League Cup Quarter Final?

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will have to face the League Cup quarter-final – also known as the Carabao Cup – against Brentford without several key players, he said on Tuesday.

Belgian striker Jeremy Doku, who has been in excellent form this season, remains sidelined, while City will also be without John Stones (thigh) and Rodri (hamstring). Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri are on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.

“If you are one match away from the semi-finals, if you can handle it, take it because you never know when it will come back,” Guardiola said.

“I’m not saying it’s not the priority to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, but normally when we do, it’s when we have the whole squad, no injuries, and we can rotate.»

City, four-time League Cup winners under Guardiola, are breathing down Arsenal’s neck in the Premier League title race, two points behind the leaders in second place in the table.
