Manchester City vs Brentford – Match preview and team news

Manchester City vs Brentford – Match preview and team news Manchester City host Brentford on Saturday evening with their Premier League title hopes hanging by a thread. Pep Guardiola’s side surrendered a lead to draw 3–3 with Everton in their last outing. That result leaves City five points behind leaders Arsenal with only four matches remaining.

They no longer control their own destiny in this fascinating race. A victory is essential to keep the pressure on the Gunners before they travel to West Ham. Brentford, meanwhile, arrive at the Etihad Stadium firmly in the hunt for European football.

Keith Andrews has guided the Bees to seventh place following an impressive season. They sit just one point behind Bournemouth and remain a major threat on the counter-attack. City are currently unbeaten in fifteen league matches on home soil.

That said, they have struggled to find their usual scoring rhythm against the West London side. Guardiola’s men average just 1. 4 goals per game against the Bees.
