Pre-match press conference with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of Manchester City v Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Guardiola confirms several injury absences including John Stones, Rodri and Jรฉrรฉmy Doku, with the rest of the squad expected to be available.
He explains the importance of rotation due to the short recovery time between matches, with only three days since their last game, and confirms that players who have featured less recently, along with academy players, are set to be involved.
Pep stresses the value of domestic cup competitions when a place in the semi-finals is on the line, insisting it is an opportunity that cannot be ignored.
He also reflects on lessons learned from recent European matches, the balance between youth and experience, and the need to manage player fitness carefully with an important Premier League fixture against West Ham coming up shortly after.

Savio timeeeee ๐๐๐๐๐
Baring the Champions leauge The Prem should be our Priority over a domestic Trophy. If we rotate and lose so be it.
Did pep summon the press midnight
I wonder if Marmoush is going to look for a transfer as well. A player like that should not be on the bench every week in the prime of his career. He is good enough to be a starter in most top teams that does not have Haaland in it.
That's why Bernardo Silva is important to us city, he brings the balance to the team.. SO UNDERATED ๐ข๐ข
Man city should still have enough to see through the game
Bernardo Silva is the only player in City's squad who rarely gets Injured, Top Player ๐๐
Bernardo Silva juega modo premier liga ๐ฆ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐๐ฅต๐ no modo liga ๐ช๐ฆ รฑola ligas de mediocres para โ๏ธ equipos mejor que pedri y vitinรฑa a la edad que tiene ๐ง ๐๐คท

For us to win the game the key is TAKING CARE OF THE BALL !!!! Be Patient and clean with our possession and keep the ball moving even if its side to site and going back to come forward. DEFEND and Manage the game WITH THE BALL and Brains .. We can create chances but we have to keep the crosses on the ground as there is No Harland EXPECT false 9 !!
