Brentford vs Manchester City

Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has now scored at 22 of the 23 stadiums he's played at in the Premier League (failing only at Anfield), the highest ratio of any player to appear at more than one ground in the competition’s history (96%).

Pep Guardiola has now won 250 of his 349 Premier League matches with Manchester City (D50 L49), the fastest any manager has ever reached 250 wins in charge of an English top-flight club.

Since the start of 2023-24, Brentford have failed to win all 18 of their Premier League matches against sides that finished the previous season in the division’s top four (D4 L14); the Bees had won five of eight such games in 2022-23 before this (D2 L1).

Since completing a Premier League double over Manchester City in 2022-23, Brentford are winless in their last four against the Citizens in the division (D1 L3).

Manchester City have only lost one of their four Premier League visits to Brentford (W2 D1), going down 1-0 on the final day of the 2022-23 season.

Brentford won 3-1 against Manchester United last time out. The only team to face both Manchester clubs in consecutive Premier League games and win them both are Tottenham Hotspur in January 1996 (4-1 v Man Utd, 1-0 v Man City).

Brentford have won four of their last six Premier League home games (D1 L1), scoring at least twice in five of those matches. This comes after an eight game winless run at Gtech Community Stadium, a run in which they failed to score on five occasions.

Manchester City are the only side to have spent more than half of their game time in a winning position in the Premier League this season (55.3%). The Citizens have spent over two hours in the lead in their last two away league games, but have failed to win either match (D1 L1).
