The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Brentford take on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in an important encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Brentford vs Manchester City Preview
Brentford are in 11th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The home side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup over the weekend and cannot afford another poor result in this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table and have struggled this season. The Cityzens thrashed Salford City by an 8-0 scoreline in the FA Cup in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
