Match Preview
Greetings to real-time commentary of this English league game between Brentford and City at Brentford's arena. This encounter features the duel of the center-forwards.
On Brentford's side is the Brazilian. Before Semenyo's stellar performance against Fulham, the Brazilian had been tied for second in goals in the league with four goals in six appearances. His efficiency is notable with a strong conversion percentage, as his first goal against Manchester United demonstrated.
On Manchester City's side features the Norwegian. The forward has stood out as City's top performer this season. He’s scored 17 scores in 10 matches for club and country and is consistently showing his elite quality. He’s never scored at the Gtech previously so he will be eager to open his account.
Three points for Keith Andrew’s side would result in back-to-back successes against the two Manchester teams. For Pep Guardiola, this fixture presents a possibility to record a 250th Premier League win as Manchester City head coach. Victory would establish him as the fastest manager to accomplish this record with a single English top-flight side.
The beginning is at 4:30pm.
