Goal Scorer:

Brentford
The home team will be without the services of Rico Henry, Bryan Mbeumo, Aaron Hickey, and Kevin Schade. Yoane Wissa, Saman Ghoddos, and Frank Onyeka are currently away on international duty.

Brentford are likely to shape up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Mark Flekken in goal. Nathan Collins will start in the back three along with Ethan Pinnock and Ben Mee. Mads Roerslev and Keane Lewis-Potter will be deployed in in the wing-back positions, and they will look to help out at both ends of the pitch.

In the middle of the park, Mathias Jensen will start alongside Christian Norgaard and Vitaly Janelt. The three players will look to help out defensively and break up opposition attacks. Finally, Neal Maupay will lead the line for Brentford along with Ivan Toney.

Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Flekken; Collins, Pinnock, Mee; Roerslev, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Lewis-Potter; Toney, Maupay

Manchester City
The visitors do not have any injury concerns heading into this game, and they should be able to field a full strength line up. Ederson will start in goal, and Manchester City will shape up in a 4-1-4-1 formation.

Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol are likely to start as the full-backs and they will look to keep things compact at the back and help out in the attack. John Stones will start alongside Nathan Ake at the heart of the defence.

Rodri will continue as the defensive midfielder, and he will look to break up opposition attacks and protect the backline. Kevin De Bruyne and Julian Alvarez will start in the attacking midfield roles, and they will look to link up in the final third and create goalscoring opportunities.

Finally, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Manchester City against Brentford after returning from long layoff at long last. Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku will start in the wide areas and support Haaland.

Probable Lineup (4-1-4-1): Ederson; Lewis, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol; Rodri; Foden, Alvarez, De Bruyne, Doku; Haaland
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Manchester City
