"Starting with the hosts, while Brentford might have sprung a real upset over the summer as they announced Keith Andrews as Thomas Frank's permeant replacement, the Bees have enjoyed a rugged start to proceedings. Last seen putting in a stellar performance on home soil as they clinched a 3-1 victory at home against Manchester United, the Irish tactician will be dreaming of a repeat display here."
"Brentford Team News Both still dealing with respective hamstring injuries, Brentford will once again be without the duo of Gustavo Nunes and former Tottenham youngster Paris Maghoma here. However, completing a loan switch from Arsenal over the summer, Reiss Nelson could return to Andrews' squad this weekend. Bagging a Premier League brace against Manchester United last time out and now notching four goals in his previous five top-flight appearances, the red-hot Igor Thiago will lead the line in west London."
Manchester City will travel to west London to face Brentford in a Premier League match on Sunday afternoon.

Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma remain sidelined with hamstring injuries, while Reiss Nelson could return from his Arsenal loan.
