Match Facts
Manchester City have won six of their eight home games against Brentford in all competitions, with the exceptions being a 2-0 defeat in December 1937, and a 2-1 loss in this exact fixture last season.
Having beaten Man City in this exact fixture 2-1 last season, Brentford are looking to become just the second team to win consecutive away league games against a side managed by Pep Guardiola, after Manchester United in 2019-20/2020-21.
After Manchester City won 3-1 in the reverse meeting earlier this month, Man City v Brentford could become only the third instance of one team beating another twice in the same calendar month in the Premier League, with both of the previous two being achieved by Arsenal (v Bolton in January 2010 & v Wolves in February 2022).
Man City are unbeaten in their last 47 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) games at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League (W41 D6) since a 0-1 defeat to Tottenham in May 2010. The Citizens have won 26 of their last 27 such fixtures (D1), including each of their last 12 in a row.
Brentford have lost seven of their 11 Premier League away games this season (W3 D1), as many as they lost on the road in the entirety of last season’s competition. The Bees have lost five of their last six away league outings, although did win their most recent 2-0 at Wolves.
Manchester City have only lost one of their last 37 Premier League home games (W30 D6), although that was to Brentford in November 2022 (1-2). However, the Citizens have failed to win four of their last seven league games at the Etihad (W3 D4 L0), which is as many times as they had failed to win in their previous 38 such fixtures (W34 D2 L2).
Brentford have lost 10 of their last 13 Premier League games (W3), keeping just one clean sheet and conceding 29 goals in this period (2.2 per game). In fact, since the first game of this spell in November (0-3 defeat at Liverpool), the Bees have lost more Premier League matches than any other side (10).
Man City have fallen behind in 11 of their 24 Premier League games this season; only in 2016-17 (12) and 2019-20 (13) have they trailed in more games in a league campaign under Pep Guardiola. However, the Citizens have recovered 18 points from losing positions this term; only in 1993-94 (20) have they regained more after falling behind in a single Premier League season.
Only against Brighton (6) has Man City’s Phil Foden scored more Premier League goals than versus Brentford (5), against whom he netted a hat-trick earlier this month. In Premier League history, there have been just six previous instances of a player netting in two separate matches against the same opponent within the same calendar month, most recently Marcus Rashford against Leeds in February 2023.
Ivan Toney has scored in both of his Premier League away games for Brentford this season, goals against Tottenham and Wolves. No Brentford player has ever netted in three successive away appearances in the competition.
