Manchester City will be eager to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Brentford at the Etihad Stadium on 9 May.

Current Form

The Citizens drew 3-3 away at Everton on 4 May, extending their unbeaten run to 10 matches in the English top-flight.

City are also unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League home matches, registering 12 wins and three draws at the Etihad Stadium.

Brentford, on the other hand, claimed a 3-0 home win over West Ham United on 2 May, ending their six-game winless run in the league.

However, the Bees are winless in their last three away matches, with one defeat and two draws on the road.


Team News

Manchester City have no suspension issues, but they will be without Rodri, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol due to their respective injuries.

Brentford, meanwhile, have concerns over the injured quartet of Jordan Henderson, Antoni Milambo, Rico Henry and Fabio Carvalho, but they have no suspension issues.


Quotes

"I think we were winning, so they started to press more, and they are more aggressive as well," Man City winger Jeremy Doku said after his side's draw against Everton.

 

"And then it's on us to stay calm in those situations. We know that one point can be important at the end. Happy to score and happy to help the team." 

 

"We will see. It feels painful now. There is still a lot of games to go. We lost two points today. We will keep on fighting - we owe it to ourselves and to our fans."


Head-To-Head

Manchester City claimed a 1-0 win over Brentford in their last Premier League meeting, which occurred at the Gtech Community Stadium in October 2025.

Therefore, the Citizens are undefeated in their last five league matches against the Bees, with four wins and one draw.
