Brentford-Manchester City is a match on the 23rd day of the Premier League. Here are our predictions for scorers, shooters and cautioned players.
Win to go within two points of Liverpool with one game to spare. Win to put pressure on Klopp’s team and catch Arteta’s Arsenal in second place. Manchester City plays against Brentford and obviously, as usual, has a clear goal in mind, to win. And Guardiola’s team, objectively, should succeed.
Too good of an opportunity meanwhile, too clear a gap on the pitch between the two formations. But, in this article we will mainly focus on what may be the scorers, shooters and cautioned players of the match. And let’s go through them together.
Brentford-Manchester City, the possible scorer
Out of action due to injury for quite some time, Haaland tonight will return to play from the first minute leading the attack of the Catalan coach’s lineup. The Norwegian center forward has been too far from scoring to miss, and it is obvious that on English night he will try hard to return to the net to feel that unique rush of adrenaline. Yes, we are relying on him, and it could not be otherwise.
The predictions for shooters and cautioned
In Brentford, Ivan Toney is the biggest candidate to hit the mirror of the posts at least once. He plays in attack, even scores with some regularity, so at least one conclusion against City – which is also conceding a little too much than usual – could fit. Among the guests, on the other hand, watch out for De Bruyne: the Belgian has recovered and is back to grinding out game and eye-glittering actions. We wouldn’t be surprised if in the course of the evening he hits the Brentford goalposts at least once – and maybe even twice.
Among the villains, however, there could end up at least two men from the hosts. The first is Reguilon, a very fiery fellow who could pay the price. In the middle of the field, on the other hand, Jensen, a guy who certainly doesn’t back down, could spend the foul. But more than that, he could also be forced in some circumstances to come in a little naughty. At home to City, however, watch out for Gvardiol. One who spends a lot going forward and then is forced back as well. He might lose a little bit of lucidity. Of course, he too could hit the goal mirror. Finally, also watch out for the possible yellow card for Walker.
