Video: Brentford 1 – 1 Manchester City (45 + 3mins) – Phil Foden scores an equaliser

Today, Manchester City will face Brentford in the Premier League. If they emerge victorious, they will have an opportunity to gain an advantage in the competition for the championship. The Blues currently occupy the third position in the table, trailing behind the victorious Liverpool and the second-placed Arsenal by a margin of three points. They will travel to the western part of London.

Contrarily, the teams competing against City have the advantage of having two further games yet to be played before tonight’s match. If City emerges victorious at the GTech Community Stadium and earns three points, they will ascend to the summit of the standings.

Pep Guardiola benefits from the fact that he has a complete and healthy team at his disposal for the encounter. Erling Haaland may be poised to make his first start since early December, following his successful performance as a substitute against Burnley last week. Manu Akanji has recovered from the injury that sidelined him for a few weeks.

Conversely, the host club emerged victorious against City on two occasions in the previous season’s league matches. Their urgent need for points stems from their precarious position just above the relegation zone. Consequently, Thomas Frank’s team will prove to be a formidable adversary.
