Man City vs Brentford prediction

Man City may have bigger priorities than the League Cup but Pep Guardiola will be desperate for them to maintain their current form and momentum, which has seen them win all of their last five games in all competitions. Over the course of those matches, Guardiola’s men racked up 16 goals, an average of over three per game.

Brentford have never won a major trophy in their history and they’ll certainly be taking this one seriously. But playing a team of Man City’s calibre is always a formidable task, no matter what starting line-up Guardiola puts out. Therefore, with home advantage in their favour, back the depth of Man City to win out in the end.
