Man City vs Brentford: Premier League - LIVE!
Tonight, Man City will host Brentford in a match that could bring them just one point away from Liverpool, who currently sit at the top of the Premier League. The game was meant to take place in December, but was postponed due to City’s participation in the Club World Cup, leaving them with one game in hand over their competitors. Pep Guardiola and his team are now ready to take advantage of this opportunity and close in on the coveted top spot.
The reigning champions, who are presently ranked third in the standings, are eager to recover from their letdown over the weekend. They barely managed to tie against Chelsea, needing a last-minute goal from Rodri. Jack Grealish and Josko Gvardiol were absent from the game, and they are still not able to play due to their injuries. Additionally, Kevin De Bruyne will be sitting on the bench as Oscar Bobb makes his debut in the Premier League. The team will be led by Erling Haaland as he attempts to overcome his ineffective performance from the previous game.
Brentford triumphed over City at their home and away matches in the previous season. They managed to take the lead in their recent encounter a few weeks ago. Despite their progress after Ivan Toney's return, the Bees are still only five points ahead of the relegation zone. Stay tuned to Standard Sport's LIVE blog below and follow all the action.
