"Manchester City are in the position all sports teams fear: knowing they have no margin for error. City lost control of the title race during their madcap 3-3 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday. If they fail to beat Brentford at the Etihad tonight, it'll be all over bar the tweeting. Though City are strong favourites, they will be wary of an impressive, overachieving opponent."
"Brentford might be the only regular Premier League team who have never suffered a pasting at the hands of Pep Guardiola none of their defeats have been by more than two goals. Goal difference could still decide the title, so City would love to change chat tonight. But the most important thing, by far, is that they don't slip up again. Kick off 5.30pm."
Manchester City face a must-win situation after a 3-3 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium caused them to lose control of the title race. A failure to beat Brentford at the Etihad would end their title hopes. City are strong favourites, but Brentford are described as impressive and overachieving. Brentford have not suffered a heavy defeat against Pep Guardiola, with none of their losses by more than two goals. Goal difference remains a possible deciding factor, so City would benefit from improving it. The priority is avoiding any further slip-ups, with kickoff set for 5.30pm.
