Another slice of history could await Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Sunday, when he takes his Citizens side to face Brentford in the Premier League.
The Catalan coach needs just one more victory to reach a staggering 250 in the competition, and unsurprisingly, he would do so in record time if the visitors come up trumps at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Head-to-head:
- Brentford have won two of the eight Premier League meetings between the two teams.
- Manchester City recorded five victories.
- The remaining clash ended in a draw.
- Manchester City are on a six-match undefeated run.
- Brentford have failed to secure a clean sheet in any of their last five matches.
- The Cityzens have secured three wins in their last five fixtures against the Bees.
- Four of their last six encounters produced at least three goals.
Form:
- Brentford in the league: W-L-D-L-W
- Brentford in all competitions: L-D-W-L-W
- Man City in the league: L-L-W-D-W

Team News:
- Brentford will miss out on the services of Gustavo Gomes as he is injured. Reiss Nelson is back in training.
- Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait Nouri will not be in action for Manchester City as they are injured. Abdukodir Khusanov might also miss out due to fitness issues.
Player(s) to watch:
- Igor Thiago will be looking to help his side in the attacking front yet again. He is coming in after scoring a brace in the previous Premier League fixture against Man United. Thiago performed well and will be keen on delivering another such performance so that he can help his side against the Cityzens.
- Erling Haaland has started his season on a positive note. Erling Haaland was once again on the scoresheet for Man City in their previous fixture. He found the net twice, but it was not enough for his side to secure a win. Another top performance from Haaland can help City secure three vital points.
