Man City vs Brentford odds and score prediction
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...
There's no margin for error now for Manchester City.
Every game is a must-win if they're going to keep the heat on Arsenal at the top and you'd usually expect them to swat aside most visitors at the Etihad when the pressure is this high. But there are just a few cracks appearing that make this a little more interesting from a betting perspective.
City conceded chances worth 2.72 expected goals at Everton - the fifth-most they've allowed in a Premier League match under Pep Guardiola and their worst defensive output in a game since 2024. That's not something you see often and it hints that teams are finding ways to get at them.
Igor Thiago has been a revelation this season scoring 22 Premier League goals, the most ever by a Brazilian in a single campaign, and he's right in the mix for the Golden Boot. More importantly, he's the focal point for everything Brentford do well in attack.
If Brentford create, he's the one getting on the end of it.
At 2/1 with Sky Bet for Thiago to score anytime, that looks a big price.
