Brentford vs Manchester City

Brentford and Manchester City are set to trade tackles in a tasty-looking Premier League encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on the final day of the 2022/23 season.

Ivan Toney’s eight-month ban for breaching betting rules did nothing to hinder Brentford’s momentum as they came from a 1-0 halftime deficit to thrash Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 in the previous round, making it four wins in their last five league matches (L1). After an underwhelming run of three straight home league outings without winning (D2, L1), Thomas Frank’s men have secured back-to-back victories over West Ham and Nottingham Forest and could make it three on the bounce for the first time this season. Achieving that feat would also see the ‘Bees’ record a league double over Man City for the first time since 1937/38 following a stunning 2-1 triumph at the Etihad Stadium in November.

Meanwhile, Man City’s 1-0 home win over a downtrodden Chelsea side last weekend helped them wrap up a third successive Premier League title for the first time in the club’s history. But complacency got the better of them in midweek top-flight action as they could only manage a 1-1 draw at Brighton, curtailing an impressive run of five consecutive away league wins. Pep Guardiola’s men will be confident about ending another triumphant domestic campaign on a high, knowing they’ve won their final league game in eight of the last nine seasons (L1), including six in a row. Avenging the abovementioned loss in the reverse fixture would be a fitting way to celebrate their 1,000th match in the Premier League and set the tone for the upcoming Champions League and FA Cup finals.
