Pep Guardiola’s men started off with a 2-0 win over Chelsea before a 4-1 triumph over Ipswich Town and then secured a 3-1 victory over West Ham in the last game.

The Bees on the other hand are also off to a great start having won two of their three fixtures so far. They began their season with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace before a defeat to Liverpool away from home and bounced back against Southampton with a 3-1 win.

Players to watch 

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Erling Haaland will be the danger man for the Cityzens up front. The Norwegian powerhouse has scored in all of City’s opening three games. He already has seven goals to his name, including two back-to-back hat tricks.

Haaland scored the winning goal at the Etihad the last time these two sides came up against each other. Moreover, Haaland has contributed to over 75% of City’s goals this season.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

Bryan Mbeumo has been Brentford’s hero this season. He has stepped up to the occasion and has filled in perfectly for Ivan Toney. The Cameroon international is the league’s joint second-highest goalscorer with three strikes to his name. His positioning, goalscoring and game-reading abilities make him a perfect match for the Bees.
