Pep Guardiola's City are now on 71 points, five behind Arsenal with every fixture a must win game in the title race. The 3-3 Everton draw was a damaging slip that has made Arsenal near-certain champions. Jeremy Doku’s stoppage time equalizer earned them a point after conceding three goals in succession from the Toffees. At the Etihad, where City have been dominant all season, they face Brentford with the urgency of a club that cannot afford another slip. An attacking line led by Erling Haaland and the collective quality of Guardiola's squad makes them formidable.

Keith Andrews' has taken charge and even bettered the fine work done by Thomas Frank who led the previous Brentford era. The former set-piece coach now has Brentford in 7th place on the log with 51 points and on course for a continental ticket next campaign. They arrive this fixture on the back of a convincing three-nil victory over West Ham United which put off a four-game winless streak in the top-flight. Away at the Etihad against a City side desperate to maintain pressure in the title race, they face their most difficult remaining fixture.
Prediction
City's title-race desperation makes them the clear favourites in spite of Brentford’s European motivation.
