Manchester City have the opportunity to build momentum but will face a tough Brentford side | OneFootball

Manchester City take on Brentford on Sunday at the GTech Community Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side has the opportunity to build real momentum entering the upcoming international break. But they’ll face a tough Brentford side who pack a punch at home, which has been on display this season. A tricky test awaits City, but if they can beat Brentford and pick up a valuable three points, it could set them up for what lies ahead after the international break.

Brentford have been hard to beat at the GTech Community Stadium.

Brentford currently sit 13th on the Premier League table. Under new manager Keith Andrews, the Bees have been tough to beat at home. They have beaten Manchester United and Aston Villa at the GTech Community Stadium. Brentford also picked up a 2-all draw against Chelsea at home. They have been impressive at home, and they are backed by a passionate home crowd. It won’t be a surprise to see Keith Andrews’ side be up for the visit of Manchester City on Sunday.

It must be said, that this Brentford side isn’t as tough as Thomas Frank’s Brentford side from seasons past. They have lost key players such as Bryan Mbuemo, for example, last summer. But they are a team that will fight and scrap for everything. They are dangerous from set pieces, and with players such as Mikel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade, Igor Thiago, Seep van den Beerg, and Aaron Hickey in their ranks, they have quality in their lineup. So Pep Guardiola’s side will have to be at their best to pick up three points tomorrow.

If Manchester City can beat a tough Brentford team, it will allow them to build momentum for what lies ahead.

Following their 2-all draw with AS Monaco on Wednesday night, Manchester City are unbeaten in six matches in all competitions. Following a slow start to the 25/26 season, Pep Guardiola’s side is beginning to work its way into the season. There are signs that this City side is becoming a Pep Guardiola team. However, they aren’t the finished product yet. But you sense that if they can beat Brentford tomorrow, it would be massive for the team’s confidence.

A win over Brentford will mean that City have navigated a tricky section of their fixture list with aplomb. As Manchester City’s rebuild continues, they are building well. If they can pick up three points at the GTech Community Stadium, it will be a good marker for what lies ahead. It will also allow City to build momentum heading into the international break. That could be important for what lies ahead after the upcoming international break.

Manchester City will have to be at their best to beat Brentford tomorrow. Keith Andrews’ side is a formidable opponent at home. A tough test awaits Pep Guardiola’s side, but it is one that, if City pass and pick up three points, it will help them establish momentum and help build confidence in Pep Guardiola’s new-look side.
