The Carabao Cup quarterfinals continue this Wednesday with this match between Manchester City and Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. In recent weeks, the home side have been back on top form. Led by Erling Haaland, who has been scoring goals galore, and Rayan Cherki, who continues to deliver assists, the Skyblues are in second place in the Premier League, just two points behind Arsenal (1st). They are also in the top eight of the Champions League group stage and have qualified for the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup. Pep Guardiola's team lived up to its status against Huddersfield (0-2) and Swansea (1-3) in its English League Cup debut.

Even though they face a Premier League side for a place in the last four, Manchester City remain the clear favorites in this match. Brentford are far from being among the leading lights of English soccer. They have won only once in their last five games and have slipped to 14th in the table. The Bees achieved a remarkable feat in this edition of the Carabao Cup by knocking out Aston Villa on penalties. However, that was during a difficult period for the Villans. Keith Andrews' men are unlikely to defy the odds again on Wednesday.
