Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media after his side were knocked out of the Carabao Cup: "We played with a lot of courage. I had to make some changes, with Dango [Ouattara] going away and a couple of knocks to [Igor] Thiago and Jordan [Henderson].

Pep Guardiola has invited Keith Andrews to "discuss" the Brentford boss's claim that Abdukodir Khusanov should have been sent off

Keith Andrews has played down the severity of Igor Thiago’s injury after the striker missed Brentford ’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening. The Brazilian forward has been in excellent form for Brentford this season with 11 goals in the Premier League so far.

Guardiola was impressed with the energy shown both by those given their opportunity and those who came off the bench.

Leeds United got a late goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin to run their Premier League unbeaten run to three following a 1-1 draw with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Man City XI: Trafford, Lewis, Khusanov, Ake, O'Reilly, Gonzalez, Reijnders, Bobb, Cherki, Savinho, Mukasa. Subs: Donnarumma, Dias, Haaland, Bernardo, Gvardiol, Nunes, Foden, Gray, Mfuni. Brentford XI: Valdimarsson, Henry, Van den Berg, Collins, Ajer, Kayode, Jensen, Yarmoliuk, Damsgaard, Janelt, Schade.

Manchester City cruised into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup as Rayan Cherki inspired them to a 2-0 win over Brentford on Wednesday. The France international opened the scoring with a stunning strike in the first half before a deflected effort from Savinho secured a spot in the final four for Pep Guardiola's side,
