Manchester City welcome Brentford to the Etihad for their first game back in the Premier League following the International break. Brentford have had a decent start to the season, winning two out of three but City remain title favourites with a perfect start to the 24/25 season so far. With Brentford last managing to beat City in May 2023, it begs the question: can they do it again?
Match Preview
City have hit the ground running again and they look like they will walk the title again this season. Despite the looming 115 charges going to trial, City are the best team in the world football and will attempt to pull off another treble under Pep this season.

Manchester City Recent Form
City are three for three in the Premier League this season, and they’ve been practically perfect over their last six domestic games, continuing their stellar form from the end of last season into 24/25.
