After a disappointing draw with Chelsea at home in their last game, champions Manchester City will look to close the gap at the top with league leaders Liverpool, when they take on Brentford this evening. This is effectively City’s game in hand which it enjoyed over rivals Liverpool and Arsenal and they cannot afford to let their guard drop. They will start the contest in the third spot, having managed 53 points from 24 games. They were on multiple matches winning sequence before the draw with the Blues and manager Pep Guardiola will feel it was just a minor blip. Opponents Brentford have lost thrice in their last five games and dropped to 14th. They need to win a few games to steer clear of the drop. Manchester City versus Brentford will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Hotstar app from 1:00 am IST.

Rodri is the one who will break up opponents' play as the defensive midfielder.
Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Bryan Mbeumo, Ethan Pinnock, and Kevin Schade are the players missing in action for Brentford.
