Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Chelsea. Their share of possession in that meeting was 71%, while racking up 32 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Chelsea, who had 9 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Guardiola will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 5 goals during those same matches. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 22 of their 24 games this season.
They have not lost at home for an impressive 23 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 16 goals in Manchester City's 24 league games this season.
Brentford, Recent FormThe Brentford squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool. In that game they had 37% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 15 attempts and 8 on target.
Thomas Frank, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 15 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Ivan Toney will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Brentford.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Manchester City running out winners in a match that ended 1-3.
The Bees have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Man City.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jérémy Doku (Thigh), Jack Grealish (Groin), Joško Gvardiol (Ankle) and Bernardo Silva (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Frank has a number of injury concerns in his Brentford squad to contend with: Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery), Rico Henry (Knee), Aaron Hickey (Hamstring), Bryan Mbeumo (Ankle) and Kevin Schade (Hip)
