Man City have made a perfect start to the new season. Victories over Chelsea, Ipswich Town and West Ham have put Pep Guardiola's side in a familiar place: top of the EPL table. The worry for Man City's competitors is that there is a decent chance the champions will not shift from their current position between now and the end of the campaign.

Brentford will also be pleased with the way they have begun the season, but it will be tough for them to add to their tally of six points this weekend. Brentford did win at the Etihad Stadium in 2022/23 and the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa could cause problems on the break.

The issue is, Man City are in fantastic form and Brentford may well be powerless to resist them. Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are back to their best, while Guardiola could hand a first start of 2024/25 to Phil Foden. This could be a long afternoon for the Bees.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Stones, Lewis, Gündoğan, Kovačić, Savinho, De Bruyne, Grealish, Haaland

Brentford XI: Flekken, van den Berg, Pinnock, Collins, Ajer, Nørgaard, Janelt, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter, Mbeumo, Wissa

Unfortunately, there will be no Man City vs Brentford live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because U.K. broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs to protect attendances elsewhere in the soccer pyramid.
