Team news & squads

Manchester City team news

There are question marks over Jeremy Doku's availability after the Belgian did not travel to Selhurst Park on Sunday due to a leg injury.

John Stones is also doubtful, while Rodri and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined by their respective injury issues.

Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri will be unavailable as they prepare to leave for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Guardiola may choose to rotate the squad, with the likes of Savinho, Oscar Bobb, Rico Lewis and James Trafford raring for starts.

Brentford team news

Kevin Schade is back after missing the weekend's 1-1 league draw against Leeds due to suspension. Reiss Nelson could also recover from his knock, but Josh Dasilva, Antoni Milambo and Fabio Carvalho all remain sidelined with knee injuries.

Dango Ouattara is away representing Burkina Faso in AFCON.

With no European commitments, head coach Keith Andrews will likely field a near full-strength starting XI, with either cup keeper Hakon Valdimarsson or first choice Caoimhin Kelleher to feature in goal.
