Manchester City vs Brentford: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Defending champions Manchester City will return to action after the international break with a clash against Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. Can the Bees upset the Champions again for the first time since taking all three points in 2022?
Manchester City Preview & Form
Defending champions Manchester City have made a promising start in defending their Premier League title crown in the new season. City has boosted an impressive three consecutive match-winning streaks in the league while scoring a total of nine goals and keeping only one clean sheet. City shows their dominance in the opening match with a 2-0 away win against Chelsea, with Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic combining in the match. They continued the impressive form against newly promoted side Ipswich despite conceding a 10-minute early goal in the match, but an Erling Haaland hattrick and a Kelvin Debruyne goal saw an easy 4-1 win for the Pep Guardiola side. Before the international break, the citizens made it back-to-back wins by beating West Ham United on the road, with Erling Haaland continuing to show his impressive goal-scoring skills.
Pep Guardiola’s side continues to boost an impressive home unbeaten record in the league dating back to last year.
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford have also made a positive start to the new league season despite the absence of their talisman, Ivan Toney, who moved to Saudi Arabia in the summer transfer. The Bees have won two of their opening fixtures while tasting only one defeat so far on Matchday two against Liverpool. However, before the international break, Brentford showed an outclass performance against Southampton as they cruised 3-1 on their home soil. Both Mbeumo and Wissa combined to give the Bees a comfortable win.
Manager Thomas Frank will be looking to improve his defense against the defending Champions that have scored at least two goals in each of their Premier League games.
