Latest Brentford vs Man City team information
In his pre-match press conference, Guardiola confirmed that Man City had no further injuries after the draw with Monaco, where Rodri played a safe 61 minutes.
Guardiola had hoped Omar Marmoush (knee) could return before the international break, but the Egypt striker will remain absent, along with Rayan Cherki (thigh), Abdukodir Khusanov (ankle) and Rayan Ait-Nouri (unclear reason).
Having been left out of Thomas Tuchel's England squad, Phil Foden will likely be keen to prove himself. The 25-year-old has scored seven Premier League goals against Brentford, including six at the Gtech Community Stadium.
As for Brentford, they received good news when Reiss Nelson (illness) and Fabio Carvalho (knee) both returned to training, able to play after missing the win over Man United.
Gustavo Nunes is also close to returning from a thigh injury, but may regain fitness by playing for the B team first, while Paris Maghoma (thigh) will only return after the international break.
However, coach Andrews is unlikely to change the starting lineup from the match against Man United, as Thiago continues his impressive form with five goals from just six shots on target in all competitions in the 2025-26 season.
Brentford vs Man City latest expected lineup
Brentford:
Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Hickey; Henderson, Yarmolyuk; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
Manchester City:
Donnarumma; Nunes, Stones, Gvardiol, O'Reilly; Gonzalez; Savinho, Foden, Reijnders, Doku; Haaland
Latest Brentford vs Man City football review
After finding their winning touch again in the Premier League, Man City can make the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal wary by taking seven points from their last nine, leaving behind two consecutive defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Benefiting from a player scoring two own goals in the same Premier League game – only the third time in the competition’s history – Man City fired five past Burnley at the Etihad last weekend, with Maxime Esteve and Erling Haaland both netting doubles past Martin Dubravka in a 5-1 win.
The euphoria seemed to carry over at Stade Louis II in midweek, but Guardiola’s men left Monaco with just a point after a 2-2 draw in the Champions League. Eric Dier scored a last-minute penalty to earn the Ligue 1 side a point – a scenario no one would have thought of in 2025.
Still, a six-game unbeaten run is an impressive result for City, especially considering their struggles last autumn. Guardiola's side are also the only Premier League side to have led their opponents for more than half of the season (55.3%).
If he continues to turn his lead into victory in West London, the former Barcelona boss will reach 250 Premier League wins in just 349 games, breaking Arsene Wenger's record (423 games) to become the fastest manager to reach this milestone.
While Guardiola searches for his 250th win, Brentford manager Keith Andrews is aiming for his fifth Premier League win, after helping his side end a three-game winless run by beating Man City's rivals.
With Ruben Amorim outplaying him, Andrews led Brentford to a convincing 3-1 win over Manchester United last Saturday afternoon, thanks to a brace from Igor Thiago and a goal from Mathias Jensen that made Benjamin Sesko's strike meaningless.
Brentford's current form is enough to put aside concerns about relegation, as they are safely in the bottom half of the Premier League table ahead of round seven. If they win, Brentford will have the same 10 points as Saturday's opponents.
Rediscovering form at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford have scored at least two goals in five of their last six Premier League home games – losing just one – after a run of eight games without a win before that.
Brentford don't have to look back too far to their last win over Man City – that was in 2023 – but since then Guardiola's men have taken 10 of a possible 12 points in subsequent encounters.
