The onus is now very much on Manchester City to apply some pressure on Arsenal when entertaining Brentford . Pep Guardiola 's side should keep their Premier League title hopes alive at Etihad Stadium , but the Bees aren't the type of team to simply roll over, especially as they are still chasing a place in Europe themselves.
We reckon a BOYLE Sports price boost of 6/4 for a home win and both teams to score is the way to go with our first Man City vs Brentford prediction.

Head-To-Head
Man City vs Brentford Head-To-Head Record
Brentford have lost five of their last six encounters with City after going down 1-0 at Gtech Community Stadium in the league this term and 2-0 in the Carabao Cup at this venue.
However, the Bees have had their moments since gaining promotion in 2021, doing a quick double over City in 2023/2024 and battling back late on for a 2-2 home draw last season.
Form Guiides
Man City Form Guide
City appeared to be marching relentlessly towards a domestic treble when reeling off six straight wins in all competitions that included two defeats of Arsenal , plus emphatic victories versus Liverpool and Chelsea . However, after showing some signs of tension against Burnley and Southampton , the Blues hit a major bump in the road when going 3-1 behind at Everton on Monday.
Jeremy Doku 's second excellent strike deep into stoppage time ultimately earned City a point, but that 3-3 draw put Arsenal in pole position for title glory. We need to win our games, Guardiola said. Now it is not in our hands. If they win their games, the title will be for Arsenal , but now we have to win our next game, we have to recover well for a series of games, and this is what we have to do.
Phil Foden was again reduced to the role of late substitute at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but did receive a boost with news of a new contract in midweek, and he has a great record against Brentford . The 25-year-old has netted seven times in eight appearances against the Bees and appeals at 13/2 to be the last scorer in this game for our Man City vs Brentford tips.
Brentford Form Guide
The Bees have only lost one of their last eight league games and were far from disgraced in that 2-1 defeat at Manchester United , creating plenty of chances on a night when Igor Thiago could have had a hat-trick. Brentford bounced straight back from that reversal by beating West Ham 3-0 on home turf, with Thiago striking from the penalty spot in between an own goal and Mikkel Damsgaard 's late score.
Keith Andrews can be proud of leading his team to seventh at this stage and beamed: We're in a good place. We should enjoy that. We should embrace that. And yeah, let's just keep pushing for the last three games and see where that brings us.
Thiago is just three goals behind Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race with 22 league goals this term, and 15/8 for him to add to that tally will attract support, but for those seeking a bigger pay-out, how about 18/1 for Haaland to net first and City to win 3-1.
