Brentford vs Manchester City Preview
Brentford were too good for Manchester United last weekend, with Keith Andrews’ side winning 3-1 thanks to a brace from in-form striker Igor Thiago.
After a shaky start to the campaign, the Bees are beginning to rediscover their mojo in the post Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa era.
Brentford’s top-flight home record this season is also very good overall, with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa and a 2-2 draw with Chelsea preceding the victory vs United.
So City and Pep Guardiola will know they have their work cut out, with confidence levels from last weekend’s 5-1 win over Burnley drained a tad on Tuesday, as AS Monaco scored a late penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw in the Champions League.
But Erling Haaland netted a brace in each of those fixtures, and the Norwegian striker is already up to 11 goals for the season in City colours.
Those numbers are pretty terrifying, and Brentford’s high-energy style could play into Haaland’s hands.
However, last season it was Phil Foden who was the star for the Citizens in this fixture, though the Englishman’s brace did not come in a winning cause.
Foden put City 2-0 ahead, but Brentford fought back brilliantly in the final 10 minutes and levelled the scores at 2-2 thanks to goals from Wissa and Christian Norgaard.
In terms of injuries, City are again set to be without Rayan Ait-Nouri, Omar Maroush, Rayan Cherki and Abdukodir Khusanov, while Brentford have a fairly clean bill of health, with summer signing Reiss Nelson likely to be part of the squad.
Brentford vs Manchester City Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Brentford vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Igor Thiago @ 3.10
Thiago has four goals in six Premier League appearances this season, while City have kept only two clean sheets. Guardiola’s side always seem to surrender chances to the opposition these days, and we are backing Thiago to take one of them for Brentford!
Erling Haaland to have over 2.5 shots on target @ 2.50
Haaland leads the way for shots on target in the Premier League this season with 13, four more than any other player. He also has a pretty good record against Brentford, scoring three goals in five clashes with the Bees.
Manchester City to win and both teams to score @ 2.87
In three of the last four meetings between these sides, both of them have scored at least once. City won 3-1 at the Gtech back in February 2024, and we would not be surprised to see the same scoreline later today.
