Manchester City are seeking to reach the last four of the Carabao Cup for the first time since the 2020–21 season, but must get past Brentford to do so.
The Cityzens have made little impact in the competition since their four successive triumphs between 2018 and 2021, though they are always a contender despite often rotating their playing squad. Should they eventually triumph at Wembley, Pep Guardiola would secure a 19th piece of silverware since taking charge of the club.
