Manchester City are looking invincible at the moment. After destroying Leicester 6-3 in their previous game, their win streak in the Premier League is extended to a whopping 12 games, with 21 goals scored in the last 5 matches. Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan, Raheem Sterling, and Aymeric Laporte all found themselves on the scoresheet, with City strengthening their grip on the top of the Premier League standings, after Liverpool slipped 2 points to Tottenham.

Players set to miss the Brentford game include John Stones and Rodri through injuries. However, with the amazing depth and strength of the City squad, expect a full-strength squad from Guardiola this Thursday. With City dominating in all stats in recent games, Brentford will be hard-pressed to find an answer to City’s control and pressure. 

On Brentford’s end, the fans are left with much to desire. With a solitary win in their last 5 outings coming against a struggling Watford side, Brentford’s form does not bode well when facing off against the scary-looking Blues. Having conceded 7 in the last 5 games, Brentford’s back line will have to be at their best to avoid a walkover by City on their own turf.

The verdict for this game is simple. A resounding Manchester City victory, with more than 3 goals scored. It is also looking unlikely that City will be conceding any goals.
