Latest team news for Brentford vs Man City
None of Man City's four injured players – Rodri (ACL), Ruben Dias (calf), Oscar Bobb (leg), or John Stones (foot) – will be fit in time for the trip to Brentford. This news comes just days after Kyle Walker unexpectedly expressed his desire to leave the club.
Manager Guardiola confirmed after Saturday's victory over Salford that the right-back had requested a move to a foreign club. Therefore, it appears he has played his last game in the colors of 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 in Tuesday's match. Man City's key players will also be recalled to the starting lineup, potentially leaving stars who shone in the recent FA Cup – McAtee, Doku, and Grealish – on the bench.
Meanwhile, Brentford's dip in form is proportional to their ever-growing injury list. The home side 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 their defeat to Plymouth: left-back Rico Henry made his first appearance in 16 months. He was able to play for over an hour in the match, marking his return from a serious knee injury.
Keane Lewis-Potter – who recently signed a new contract – could offer some consolation to Henry this week, alongside the return of home goalscoring duo Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo. These two players have scored 17 of Brentford's 27 Premier League goals this season.
Latest predicted lineups for Brentford vs Man City

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Man City
The "darlings" of Manchester United's "Class of '92" probably tasted many memorable victories against Man City during their peak years. However, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Nicky Butt helplessly watched their Salford City team suffer a bitter defeat in the FA Cup against their neighbors Man City at the Etihad.
A hat-trick from James McAtee, a brace from Jeremy Doku, a successful penalty from Jack Grealish, Divin Mubama's debut goal, and a strike from Nico O'Reilly created a goalscoring feast on Saturday night. Guardiola's young talents proved they are anything but ordinary.
The resounding victory in the third round marked the first time since 1933 that Man City scored eight goals in an FA Cup match. The reigning Premier League champions appear to be reaching new heights in their impressive resurgence, following victories against West Ham United and Leicester City in the top league.
The 4-1 victory against the Hammers on January 4th propelled the Citizens to sixth place, gradually closing the gap to the top four (Champions League qualification) to just two points. While a historic five-trophy haul seems impossible, if Guardiola's team continues its impressive form in the second half of the season, a top-four finish is entirely within reach.
Even in the context of recent unexpected defeats, City rarely fail to score in the Premier League and have found the net in all of their last seven matches. This promises another spectacular attacking display for neutral spectators in their clash with Brentford.
Goals seem almost inevitable when Thomas Frank's men play at home. However, the effectiveness of the Gtech Community Stadium has diminished considerably during the winter months, and recently Plymouth became the latest Championship team to "break down" one of those impenetrable walls in West London.
Creating the biggest shock of the FA Cup third round last Saturday, Argyle held Bees to a draw and secured their place in the fourth round thanks to a goal from Morgan Whittaker in the final 10 minutes of the match. Argyle fans left in jubilation, while Brentford loyalists were plunged into disappointment.
The defeat in the third round served as a wake-up call for Brentford, coming right after their resounding 5-0 victory over Southampton in their last Premier League match. This result showed that they had overcome their away goalscoring drought and could further consolidate their mid-table position.
However, Brentford can no longer boast the title of best home team in the league (that title belongs to Liverpool). And Frank's side risk suffering three consecutive Premier League defeats at home for only the second time in the club's history.
And there are also some noteworthy statistics related to the number three. Man City have won all three of their last top-flight matches against home teams on Tuesdays since their 0-1 defeat in West London in the final round of the 2022-23 season. Most recently, they beat Frank's side 2-1 at the Etihad in September thanks to a brace from Erling Haaland, after Yoane Wissa had scored early.
