"Manchester City must beat Brentford at home if they want to keep their fading Premier League title dreams alive. Monday's 3-3 draw at Everton has put a major dent in City's challenge and the crown is now Arsenal's to lose. A win over Brentford would close the gap on the Gunners to two points before Arsenal's trip to West Ham on Sunday and apply some pressure on Mikel Arteta's team."
"Brentford are, remarkably, still in the hunt for Champions League qualification, with sixth place enough if Aston Villa finish fifth and beat Freiburg in the Europa League final on May 20. The Bees started the weekend in seventh, a point behind Bournemouth. Manchester City versus Brentford kicks-off at 17:30 on Sunday."
"Manchester City's average of 1.4 goals per Premier League game against Brentford is their lowest against any opponent they've faced under Pep Guardiola. Manchester City have dropped 12 points from winning positions in the Premier League in 2026. No team has dropped more. Only Liverpool (19) have scored more goals in the final 15 minutes of Premier League games this season than Brentford (18)."
