Brentford
Brentford lost Bryan Mbeumo to a tight calf after just 41 minutes against Brighton, with the attacker joining Zanka, Kristoffer Ajer, Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry, Charlie Goode and David Raya on the sidelines.
Frank's midfield options have also been depleted by the absences of Vitaly Janelt (COVID-19) and the suspended Christian Norgaard, with Frank Onyeka hopeful of earning a recall here.
Yoane Wissa will likely support Ivan Toney up top in Mbeumo's possible absence, with Dominic Thompson continuing on the left-hand side for the time being.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Fernandez; Pinnock, Sorensen, Jansson; Canos, Onyeka, Baptiste, Jensen, Thompson; Wissa, Toney
Manchester City
As for City, Kyle Walker and Rodri were not passed fit for the clash with Leicester, and Guardiola may very well choose to save the pair for the New Year's Day clash with an in-form Arsenal.
John Stones also missed out on Boxing Day due to injury, as did Ferran Torres, but the Spaniard is on the verge of completing a move to Barcelona anyway.
Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will both hope to be reinstated to the first XI after being dropped due to off-field behaviour, with Guardiola also potentially considering Gabriel Jesus for a recall amid the packed schedule.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Cancelo, Laporte, Ake, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne; Jesus, Foden, Grealish
Prediction: Brentford 1-3 Manchester City
