Now back from his foot injury and ready to continue his Golden Boot charge, Erling Haaland looks to complete the Premier League lineup when Man City visit Brentford in a Premier League matinee on Monday .
Incredibly, Brentford did the double over Man City last season, winning twice against the treble winners in the league in what was a sensational campaign for Pep Guardiola’s side.
After two months out, Haaland’s return comes at an opportune time for Manchester City, which occupies third place in the table, five behind leader Liverpool, but with a game in hand. With Kevin de Bruyne also recently returned, the defending champions have the backbone of their fearsome attack back in shape.
This time, Brentford are at the center of the relegation battle, sitting 15th in the standings, just three points above Everton in the first danger spot after defeat in four of their last five games. However, the Bees have two games in hand to distance themselves.

- Score prediction: Brentford 1-4 Manchester City
Manchester City smell blood in the water in the race for the Premier League title. With Arsenal and Aston Villa beginning to falter, Pep Guardiola has pounced on him and now he only has to catch Liverpool, and after their surprise defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, it is a great opportunity to close the gap.
These are the environments in which Manchester City have thrived over the past few seasons under Guardiola, pushing his team to peak as the season progresses while other clubs encounter obstacles along the way. With Brentford struggling to defend themselves in recent months, this will be a place for City to attack.
