Where to watch Man City vs. Brentford live stream, TV channel, start time for EFL Cup match

Manchester City are seeking a return to the Carabao Cup semifinals for the first time in five years when they host Brentford at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side won the competition for four seasons in a row between 2017/18 and 2020/21 but have not reached the final stages since.

Guardiola is expected to ring the changes, having used just 12 players in his past five starting lineups. Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri would ordinarily have rotated in but have departed on Africa Cup of Nations duty.

Brentford have already played City this season, losing a closely contested game 1-0 at the Gtech Stadium in October.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this match, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the quarterfinal schedule.
