Today’s match is the battle of the center-forwards. On Brentford's side is Thiago. Up until Antoine Semenyo's heroics against Fulham, the Brazilian had been the joint-second highest scorer in the division with a quartet of strikes in six matches. He is highly clinical with a 40% goal conversion rate, shown by his initial strike against Manchester United illustrated. In the blue corner features Haaland. Haaland has been Manchester City's top performer in the current campaign. He’s scored 17 scores in 10 outings for City and Norway and continues displaying his trademark prowess. He has yet to score at the Gtech previously so he will be eager to open his account. Three points for Brentford would secure back-to-back successes against United and City. For the City boss, this match offers an opportunity to secure a 250th Premier League victory as Manchester City manager. A win would make him the fastest manager to reach this milestone with a single English top-flight side. The start is at 4:30pm.
