Football Whispers Predictions for Man City vs Brentford
The Premier League leaders are in action this Wednesday at home against mid-table Brentford. The visitors aren't expected to pick up any points from this game but the last encounter between the two clubs was very closely fought with just one goal in favour of Man City separating the two clubs.

Man City Win-to-Nil
We're confident that Man City will be able to keep a clean sheet on their way to all 3pts this Wednesday. Brentford were poor in the FA Cup against Everton, losing by four goals to one, and Man City will offer a much stronger challenge than the Toffees did. City have won five of their last six matches in all competitions and have kept two clean sheets in their last four league games, while Brentford have lost their last five fixtures.
De Bruyne to Score
Kevin De Bruyne is considered more of a creator of goals than a scorer but the Belgian international has been in good form in front of goal of late and we're backing him to score against Brentford this week. De Bruyne has scored 6-goals in the Premier League this season and four of those goals have come in his last seven league appearances, so you can see why we're backing City's best player to score on Wednesday.

The Canaries are on the hunt for their fourth straight win in all competitions
Man City fell behind at home to Championship side Fulham in the 4th Round of the FA Cup but recovered well and claimed an easy win in the end. Goals from Gundogan and Stones put City 2-1 at the interval and teammate Mahrez scored two more goals on his return from the Africa Cup of Nations to wrap up a comfortable victory.
Man City Predicted lineup – Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Laporte, Dias, De Bruyne, Grealish, Silva, Rodri, Foden & Sterling
While Man City were busy winning 4-1, Brentford suffered a defeat by that very same scoreline at Goodison Park. Brentford were never really in this game despite having a couple of good spells on the ball as the Frank Lampard effect helped the Toffees to an easy win in the end. Brentford's only goal came from the penalty spot as Toney coolly placed the ball beyond Pickford but if his team defend this poorly against Man City then another heavy defeat is on the cards.
Brentford Predicted lineup – Reya, Jansson, Ajer, Henry, Pinnock, Nørgaard, Canós, Jensen, Janelt, Toney & Mbeumo
Team News
Man City: Jesus, Mendy and Palmer won't feature for City this week.
Brentford: Mbeumo and Wissa could return for the visitors but Jorgensen, Fosu, Jeanvier and Eriksen are expected to miss the trip to Manchester.
