Brentford XI vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news Brentford travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday looking to secure a historic European berth. Keith Andrews has guided his side to seventh place with three matches remaining. The Bees sit just one point behind Bournemouth in the race for continental football.

They arrive in Manchester fresh from a convincing 3–0 victory over West Ham. However, Brentford have lost three of their four previous Premier League visits to this ground. Brentford have developed into late-goal specialists under Andrews’ guidance this season.

Only Liverpool have netted more goals in the final fifteen minutes of matches. This could be crucial against a City side that has conceded the fewest in that timeframe. The Bees also boast the highest shot conversion rate in the division at 13.

8%. Andrews will set his team up to sit deep and frustrate the title chasers. Brentford team news Head coach Keith Andrews confirmed that Jordan Henderson will return to the matchday squad.
