Team News

Man City
Brentford
  • Pep Guardiola will be without Josko Gvardiol and Jack Grealish for the welcome of Brentford.
  • Brentford will be without no fewer than six players through injury here.
  • Thomas Frank has suggested that Ethan Pinnock will not be fit to play until after the March international break.

Prediction

  • After dropping points against Chelsea, Man City welcome Brentford to the Etihad.
  • Guardiola's men left it late to rescue a point against Chelsea at the weekend after former employee Raheem Sterling gave the West London side the lead.
  • City are now four points behind Liverpool, with a game in hand, with the game at Brentford their chance to close the gap to just one point.
  • Brentford were comfortably beaten by Liverpool at the weekend.
  • Ivan Toney has scored four goals in his first five games since returning from his suspension.
  • A Phil Foden hattrick saw City claim the points when these sides last met, and it's likely Guardiola's side will have too much for Brentford here.
