Manchester City - Brentford: Form Analysis
Manchester City shot out the blocks this season with a fairly commanding performance to beat Chelsea 2-0 over the opening weekend at Stamford Bridge.
Thereafter, the Citizens completely outclassed Ipswich 4-1 at this venue before notching up a 3-1 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium just before we went into the international break.
With those results, Pep Guardiola’s side are on a 12-match winning streak in the Premier League and have not lost a top-flight game since December 2023 - a total of 26 games unbeaten.
Erling Haaland has scored seven of City’s nine goals this season, including back-to-back hat-tricks in the last two matches!
Meanwhile, Brentford have also made a positive start to the new league season, winning two of their three matches to date, while their only defeat was against Liverpool at Anfield in week two.
Since that defeat, the Bees overcame Colchester United in the second round of the EFL Cup and went into the first international break of the campaign following a 3-1 drubbing of newly promoted Southampton.
Thomas Frank’s side lost home and away to this opponent last season, but did spring a surprise victory over the champions at this venue in the 2022-23 campaign.

Manchester City & Brentford Squad Analysis
Guardiola is expected to remain without the services of the highly-rated Oscar Bobb for at least another two months with the young attacker still recovering from a broken leg sustained in pre-season.
Aside from Bobb, the other question marks in City’s side are over the fitness of Phil Foden, Nathan Ake and Savinho, all of whom are flagged as doubts, and will have to pass late fitness tests.
Rodri has not featured for the Citizens this season but is expected to be named in the matchday squad this week!
Frank, meanwhile, is missing several starters, including long-term absentees Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Igor Thiago and Rico Henry, though the latter is reportedly on the verge of returning to first-team action.
Mathias Jensen and Paris Maghoma are both major doubts with muscle injuries, while Kristoffer Ajer missed the Bees’ last outing with an ankle injury and his involvement this weekend is questionable.
