By Manchester City-Brentford, the preview: information, data, date, time, and television coverage of the match for the Premier League
Manchester City will host Brentford in the postponed Premier League match due to Josep Guardiola’s team’s participation in the Club World Cup. All the action will be LIVE on Star+.
Why it’s important Man City will catch up in the English championship and needs the three points to be just one point behind the leader, Liverpool. After the draw last Saturday against Chelsea, this match has grown in importance because if they don’t collect the three points, Guardiola’s team will fall further from the top spot. After this encounter, they will have played the same number of games, 25, as their two main competitors for the title: Liverpool and Arsenal.
Players to watch Erling Haaland is not in his best scoring form, and the months of the season where he is needed the most have arrived. However, Phil Foden is in great form. Additionally, Kevin De Bruyne’s return has been great news for Guardiola’s team. On the other hand, Brentford is an unpredictable team, but undoubtedly, their offensive weapon is Ivan Toney.
Current form After 11 consecutive victories, Manchester City ended their streak with a hard-fought draw against Chelsea last Saturday. Nevertheless, they have won 13 of their last 15 matches in all competitions and have not lost since the 0-1 defeat against Aston Villa on December 6. If they win this match, they will be just one point behind Liverpool. Meanwhile, Brentford comes from a 4-1 defeat against Liverpool, although they are still far from the relegation zone, six points away.
Recent history Brentford has been a tough opponent for Man City, as they have won two of the last three matches. The most recent encounter, valid for this season, was won by Guardiola’s team, 3-1.
When and how to watch The Premier League match will take place on Saturday at 16:30 ARG/URU/CHI time, 14:30 COL/ECU/PER time, with live coverage on ESPN on Star+ (only for South America).
