Game Preview
Manchester City will try to overtake Arsenal in the standings when they welcome Brentford to their Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Pep Guardiola’s troops did well to survive Fulham at the weekend, with Erling Haaland scoring the winner from the penalty spot. The thing is that they need to keep on improving their game if they are to defend the trophy.
Brentford, on the other hand, welcome key attacker Ivan Toney back from suspension, but the 26-year-old is unlikely to help the capital club avoid defeat at Etihad Stadium as Man City are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Bees are looking to consolidate this season and an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League and head into the latest round of fixtures in mid-table.
Unfortunately for the Bees, they’ve been drawing too many games and crashed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek to Gillingham on penalties after a fourth stalemate in five matches. It’s now just one win in nine matches for Brentford in all competitions and they will need to come up with something special to overcome that slump ahead of the Premier League hiatus.
You have to go back to 1989 to find Brentford’s last victory in the fixture and even that 2-1 win in the League Cup ultimately counted for nothing as Manchester City won 4-1 in the second leg. The teams have only met four times since then, with one draw and three City wins, including two victories in the Premier League last season.
For Brentford, all Jansson, Hickey, and Baptiste are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while Yoane Wissa should drop to the bench. Meanwhile for Man City, Haaland is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Kyle Walker should be the only absentee in the home team.
