Brentford will face Manchester City at Brentford Community Stadium stadium in London, England, on December 29, 2021 at 20:15 UTC. The match is a Premier League encounter. Manchester City resumes their pursuit for Premier League glory against Brentford on Wednesday, following their role in a true Boxing Day classic.
The Bees were defeated 2-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend, while Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Leicester City in a nine-goal thriller. With Thomas Frank’s team securing a hard-fought promotion to the Premier League before establishing themselves as a legitimate Premier League outfit with their early-season showings, 2021 will undoubtedly be remembered fondly.
The Bees, on the other hand, lost their sting as the Seagulls swooped to win all three points in the decisive Boxing Day match, with Leandro Trossard and Neal Maupay both delivering eye-catching finishes to extend Brentford’s inconsistency in the Premier League.
Frank’s side have now won two, drawn two, and lost two of their previous six Premier League games, putting them 13th in the table, level on points with 12th-placed Crystal Palace despite having played one fewer game.
Brentford’s recent away form hasn’t been particularly impressive, but after winning back-to-back home games against Everton and Watford, the Bees might win three top-flight games in a row for the first time since March 1939.
Arsenal and Liverpool have both failed to exert their supremacy at the Brentford Community Stadium, with European champions Chelsea winning 1-0, but playing the free-scoring leaders is a different kettle of fish.
Man City were touted for double figures after going 4-0 up before 25 minutes against Leicester, whose never-say-die attitude would come to the fore in the second period, in a result suitable for the incredible 1963 Boxing Day scorelines.
After Brendan Rodgers’ side threatened a remarkable comeback by bringing the score to 4-3, Aymeric Laporte and Raheem Sterling immediately put an end to any thoughts of a miraculous comeback, helping their side triumph 6-3 at the Etihad.
Man City have opened up a six-point lead over second-placed Liverpool before the Reds face Leicester on Tuesday, after scoring 17 goals in their past three Premier League games and winning each of their last nine.
