Latest Brentford vs Man City team information
None of City's four injured players - Rodri (ACL), Ruben Dias (calf), Oscar Bobb (leg) or John Stones (foot) - are fit for the trip to Brentford, and the news comes just days after Kyle Walker made it clear he wants to leave the club.
Guardiola confirmed after Saturday's win over Salford that the right-back had requested a move abroad, so it appears he has played his last game for the Premier League champions and will not be available for the upcoming clash with the Bees.
Rico Lewis is likely to start at right-back for the visitors on Tuesday, with City's key players also expected to be recalled to the starting line-up, potentially leaving FA Cup stars McAtee, Doku and Grealish on the bench.
Meanwhile, Brentford's form has been in decline, with the injury list continuing to grow. The hosts are still without Josh Dasilva (knee), Ethan Pinnock (thigh), Kristoffer Ajer (ankle), Ben Mee (unknown), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Igor Thiago (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back) or Ryan Trevitt (Achilles tendon).
However, there was one positive sign for Brentford after the defeat to Plymouth, as left-back Rico Henry made his first appearance in 16 months, playing for over an hour in the game as he returned from a serious knee injury.
Keane Lewis-Potter, who has just signed a new contract, could provide some solace for Henry this week, along with the return of home goalscoring duo Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who have scored 17 of Brentford's 27 Premier League goals this season.
Brentford vs Man City latest expected lineup

Manchester City:

Latest Brentford vs Man City football review
Manchester United's 'Class of 92' darlings may have enjoyed some memorable victories against Man City when they were at their peak. However, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt watched helplessly as their Salford City side suffered a bitter FA Cup defeat to neighbours Man City at the Etihad.
A James McAtee hat-trick, Jeremy Doku's double, a Jack Grealish penalty, a debut goal from Divin Mubama and a strike from Nico O'Reilly made for a goal-fest on Saturday night. Guardiola's young talents proved they are anything but ordinary.
The resounding third-round victory marked the first time since 1933 that Man City have scored eight goals in an FA Cup game. The Premier League champions appear to be reaching a new peak in their impressive resurgence, following wins over West Ham United and Leicester City in the top flight.
A 4-1 win over the Hammers on January 4th saw the Citizens climb to sixth place, and are now just two points off the top four (Champions League qualification). While a historic quintet seems unlikely, if Guardiola’s side can maintain their form in the second half of the season, a top-four finish is within reach.
Even amid their recent shock defeat, City have rarely failed to score in the Premier League and have found the back of the net in each of their last seven games, which promises another attacking feast for neutrals in their clash with Brentford.
Goals always seem to be a given when Thomas Frank's men play at home. However, the Gtech Community Stadium's threat has diminished considerably over the winter, and Plymouth have become the latest Championship side to demolish one of those walls in West London.
Argyle pulled off the biggest shock of the FA Cup third round on Saturday, holding the Bees to a draw and progressing to the fourth round thanks to a Morgan Whittaker goal in the final 10 minutes. Argyle fans went home in jubilation, while Brentford faithful were left in despair.
The third-round defeat was a wake-up call for Brentford, coming on the heels of a thumping 5-0 win over Southampton in their last Premier League game. The result suggests they have broken their away goal drought and could well consolidate their position in mid-table.
However, Brentford can no longer boast of having the best home form in the league (that title belongs to Liverpool), and Frank's side are in danger of losing three consecutive Premier League home games for only the second time in the club's history.
And there are some interesting stats to consider when it comes to the number three. Man City have won each of their last three top-flight home games on a Tuesday since a 1-0 defeat in west London on the final day of the 2022-23 season. Most recently, they beat Frank’s side 2-1 at the Etihad in September thanks to Erling Haaland’s double after Yoane Wissa’s early goal.
