Brentford are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side stunned Tottenham Hotspur with a 3-1 victory last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this match.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have won yet another Premier League title this season and have been exceptional in recent weeks. The Cityzens were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
- Manchester City have a fairly positive record against Brentford and have won nine out of the 16 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Brentford's six victories.
- Brentford won the reverse fixture by a 2-1 margin in November last year and could complete a Premier League double over Manchester City for only the second time in their history.
- Manchester City have won five of their six away games against teams from London in the Premier League this season, with their only such defeat coming by a 1-0 margin against Tottenham Hotspur.
