Manchester City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Fulham in their last league game, Manchester City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they recorded 71% of the possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 2 of their 4 shots on goal.
Pep Guardiola will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 6 goals during those same matches. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 21 games in a row. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Guardiola of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 11 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at The Etihad Stadium in 13 league games.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Etihad Stadium having scored 13 goals in Manchester City's last 6 home games in the league.
Brentford, Recent FormBrentford manager Thomas Frank will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Nottingham Forest. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Nottingham Forest who had 15 attempts and 7 on target.
Frank will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Ivan Toney will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Brentford's 14 league games this season.
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 2-0.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, The Bees have been unable to break through Man City's defence and find the back of the net.
Man City has won the last 2 games they've played against Brentford in the league.
With only Kalvin Phillips (Shoulder) and Kyle Walker (Groin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pep Guardiola will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Thomas Frank has a number of injury concerns in his Brentford squad to contend with: Kristoffer Ajer (Knee), Shandon Baptiste (Muscle), Aaron Hickey (Ankle), Vitaly Janelt (Muscle), Pontus Jansson (Hamstring) and Thomas Strakosha (Ankle)
