Man City Lineup vs Brentford OUT: Carabao Cup 2025

The first of the three all-Premier League matchups in the EFL Carabao Cup quarterfinals, Manchester City take on Brentford at home for a place in the semifinals. Both teams have had a good run so far in the tournament and will look to progress further with a decisive win in this fixture.

Man City defeated Huddersfield 2-0 in their first game in the Third Round of the EFL Cup. They went on to beat Swansea by a margin of 3-1 in the Fourth Round to qualify for the quarterfinals. One of the most successful sides in EPL history have gone on to win the trophy the last six times they have featured in the quarter-finals stage, although they were knocked out of the competition at this same stage by Bournemouth in 2023.

Brentford started their Carabao Cup campaign with a 2-0 away win against Bournemouth in the Second Round, followed it up with a win against Unai Emery's Aston Villa on penalties (4-2) in the Third Round. In the Fourth Round, they saw off surprise package Grimsby Town by 5 goals to nil. The Bees have reached the semifinal stage only once before in 2021, where they were knocked out by Tottenham Hotspur.

The match should see a lot of changes in the Man City lineup vs Brentford, as Man City coach Guardiola will not take any chances with his remaining squad after the number of injuries they have had this season. Sportsdunia takes you on a tour of the Man City vs Brentford lineups, where you will get to know who makes the final list and who doesn't.

Man City vs Brentford Lineup CONFIRMED

Take a look at the Man City vs Brentford lineups. Jeremie Doku is ruled out of this game due to an unexpected leg injury. John Stones also misses out on this game due to a thigh injury, with Rodri and Kovacic being the usual absentees. Oscar Bobb starts on the left wing in Doku's absence, while Savinho occupies the right flank in the Man City lineup vs Brentford. Mukasa starts over Haaland while Khusanov appears as a centre back in the Man City lineup vs Brentford.

Brentford, too, are missing a long list of players, which includes the likes of Reiss Nelson, Josh Dasilva, Antoni Milambo, and Fabio Carvalho. Keith Andrews has put out more or less his first-team lineup in the Man City vs Brentford lineups as they eye a qualification to the semifinals. However, it is surprising to see that the Irish has stuck to his Cup goalkeeper Valdimarsson instead of his first-choice keeper, Kelleher.
