Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction & Match Preview

• Manchester City won nine and drew one of the last ten outings in all competitions.
• Brentford conceded two or more goals in six of the last seven games across competitions.
• Man City own Premier League’s best attacking record with 51 goals in 21 matches so far in the season.

Brentford and Manchester City will drop the curtain on Matchday No 23 in English Premier League. The reigning champions travel to Gtech Community Stadium in Monday evening. The visitors will aim for their ninth victory on the trot. They eased past Burnley on Wednesday evening via three easy goals by the 46th minute of the affair.

The match against Burnley was marked by the first Kevin de Bruyne start after the injury and Erling Haaland’s return from his lengthy absence. The Norwegian forward came on from the bench to play the final 20 minutes of the affair at Etihad Stadium. It will be very interesting to see whether Pep Guardiola will push him to the starting XI for this tie against Brentford.

Brentford can be an unpleasant rival. However, Thomas Frank’s men have been struggling to keep things quiet at the back of late. They allowed at least two goals in all but one of the previous seven games in all competitions. The run includes a 2-3 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last Wednesday. This does not sound good ahead of the clash with the deadliest attacking line in the country.
