Manchester City will endeavour to preserve their perfect start to the 2024-25 campaign when they welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City:

Manchester City will look to extend their perfect start to the 2024-25 Premier League season as they welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium this Saturday. The Citizens have been in stellar form, securing victories over Chelsea (2-0), Ipswich Town (4-1), and West Ham United (3-1). Erling Haaland has been in sensational shape, netting seven goals across these matches, including back-to-back hat-tricks. City’s dominance extends beyond their recent results, as they’ve won their last 12 league games by at least two goals—a Premier League record. With an impressive 45-game unbeaten streak at home, Manchester City is keen to keep their flawless run going and avenge their last defeat at the Etihad, which came against Brentford in November 2022.

Brentford:

Brentford will face a formidable challenge as they visit the Etihad Stadium, looking to build on their strong start to the season. Thomas Frank’s side has shown resilience, with recent victories over Crystal Palace and Southampton, and a solid 3-1 win against Southampton featuring a brace from Bryan Mbeumo. Currently sixth in the Premier League, Brentford has managed to secure six points so far, despite a single defeat to Liverpool. However, the Bees have struggled away from home, losing more Premier League matches on the road than any other team since the start of last season. With a mixed record against top-four teams and having lost each of their last five away games against such clubs, Brentford faces a tough test against the defending champions.

Prediction:  3-1
