📋 Team News: Manchester City

In our view, The Citizens may well use a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Marc Guehi, Nico O'Reilly, Bernardo Silva, Nico González, Antoine Semenyo, Rayan Cherki, Jérémy Doku and Erling Haaland.

ℹ️ Team News: Brentford

We are inclined to think that The Bees seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Caoimhin Kelleher, Michael Kayode, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Keane Lewis-Potter, Yegor Yarmolyuk, Mathias Jensen, Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Brentford have the capability to break down this Manchester City lineup, however it isn’t expected to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re tipping both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Manchester City at the end of the match. Should be a good one.
