Brentford v Manchester City: Gut Feelings

Manchester Metropolis may transfer into fifth place within the league with victory on Sunday afternoon once they face Brentford on the GTech Group Stadium. The Blues are at the moment eighth, six factors behind leaders Arsenal, however with Liverpool crashing to defeat at Chelsea, the match offers the Blues an ideal alternative to shut the hole.

However Brentford can be in search of a Manchester double when Metropolis arrive, having dispatched United 3-1 final weekend and a win for the West London aspect will transfer them away from the relegation zone and put them stage on factors with the Blues.

It’s prone to be an open match with two attack-minded groups and hopefully, the Blues will prevail. As all the time, our staff are right here to provide us their views and predictions on the sport. Right here’s what we predict this week.

Difficult matchup on Sunday. Brentford away is a kind of for Metropolis, although their keeper is gone. Give me a slender win. 2-1 Metropolis.

The Bees have gained 2 from 6 within the Prem, however they might remind you that each wins have come on the GTech. Metropolis head to west London searching for a bounce-back efficiency after a disappointing midweek draw with Monaco. Metropolis ought to be capable to deal with Brentford of their post-Frank period. A brace for the world’s most harmful man, and a clear sheet for Gianluigi.

Brentford away is all the time an eyesore. Let’s go for a gritty Metropolis win. Goalscorers? Phil Foden (it’s Brentford away, so after all) and Erling Haaland (it’s Erling Haaland, so after all!)

Brentford 1-2 Manchester Metropolis

I hate Brentford away. It nonetheless brings again recollections of that 1989 FA Cup tie that we should always have gained and misplaced 3-1 (sure, I ought to let it go). If this aspect have been a Thomas Frank aspect, I’d be extra involved, however the Bees appear to have taken slightly step again since his departure and I believe Metropolis will reap the benefits of their transitional interval.

What occurred in opposition to Monaco

All of us went for a win in Monaco, and we have been minutes away from attaining this once we have been robbed by a late penalty. However the true tragedy on this story is that Pete was robbed of his first appropriate prediction because the 12 months dot. His 2-1 prediction was spot on till the spot destroyed it. How ironic.

Saul and Thomas get additional factors although for the right variety of targets. Will went for 3-0 and also will be cursing that late Dier penalty as he may have gotten the additional factors as a substitute.
