Manchester City play their game in hand on Tuesday evening when they welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium.

Victory for the defending Premier League champions will see them leapfrog Arsenal into second place and will be just one point behind leaders Liverpool.

Brentford are down in 14th position, and although they are only six points ahead of the drop zone they should still have enough to be in the Premier League next season.

Manchester City are moving along nicely at the moment as they look to make it four successive Premier League title wins.

They saw a six-game-winning run in the Premier League come to an end on Saturday as they were held to a draw against Chelsea, while they have not lost in the league since they were beaten away against Aston Villa.

City will be without Jack Grealish again after the England midfielder picked up a groin injury in their Champions League clash against FC Copenhagen last week. Joko Gvardiol is still out with an ankle injury and is expected to be out for a few more weeks.

Brentford have won two of their last five Premier League matches. They have won just seven all season, and it is safe to say they would have probably picked up more had Ivan Toney not been suspended.

Since Toney returned from his ban, he has scored four goals in five matches. Imagine the total he would have scored had he been able to play. Unfortunately for Toney, he cannot do it all himself.

Toney needs his team-mates to match his quality and work rate if they are to go on a winning run. The former Newcastle United, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic and Peterborough United striker is expected to start once more.

Defender Ethan Pinnock missed the loss against Liverpool, but has an outside chance of featuring against City. Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey and Bryan Mbeumo have not been cleared to return form injury yet.

Head to Head

Manchester City have won six of their 11 meetings against the Bees. They recently met at the start of February with the Blues running out 3-1 winners.

Brentford beat Manchester City 1-0 in May 2023 and have won four of their last seven meetings against the champions. The last time Brentford travelled to the Etihad Stadium, they beat City 2-1 in November 2022.

Our Betting Tip for Today- Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals @ 15/8 Bet365

Manchester City are the obvious favourites to take three points on Tuesday. They can be backed at 1/5 to win the match. Brentford are a massive 14/1 to upset the champions, while the draw is on offer at 11/2.

Erling Haaland proved on Saturday that even the best strikers in the world can have an off day. The Norwegian international was wayward in front of goal against Chelsea and could easily have scored a hat-trick.

Haaland, who has 21 goals in all competitions to his name already this season, surprised everyone at the weekend with his inability to not only score but not even hit the target on occasion.

Having a poor day does not turn you into a bad player overnight. Haaland will not be too bothered, but he will not want to endure many more days like he did on Saturday. I am backing him to make Brentford pay with at least two goals to take his league tally past 18.
