For the second consecutive game, Pep Guardiola opted to leave Kyle Walker out of Manchester City's squad.
After a horrendous run of form in November and December, Manchester City are on a three-game winning streak across all competitions. The defending English champions might still be stuck in sixth place in the Premier League, but they are slowly climbing their way back into the top four.
With Liverpool and Nottingham Forest facing off, City have the opportunity to make up some ground as long as they collect all three points against Brentford. The Citizens will have to defeat the Bees without their captain, though, after Guardiola dropped Walker from his team yet again.
