Prediction

  • Manchester City have made a 100% start to the season to make a sprint start to the their title defence. Saturday's welcome of Brentford kicks off a hectic September for Pep Guardiola's men.
  • Brentford have made an impressive start to the campaign, winning two of three matches, with the sole defeat coming at Liverpool. The Bees have lost six of their last nine away league matches, however.
  • City have won their last 12 Premier League outings, and should claim another three points here.
