Premier League – Brentford vs Manchester City – Betting Preview

Brentford will have a visit from Manchester City tonight in the Premier League as Pep Guardiola’s side continue their dominance. The Citizens have been phenomenal throughout the past few weeks, scoring goals like never before. While the Bees‘ season looks off the track at the moment as they stand in the 14th spot in the table.

City are boosted with confidence, more so after they ruthlessly thrashed Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Yet again, they are looking like the favourites to win the title race as we’ve approached midway through the campaign.

Tonight will be another comfortable victory for Pep’s side considering the poor run of fixtures for their opponents. However, the hosts will try their best to bring themselves out of their not-so-satisfactory results during their recent performances.
