How to watch Brentford vs. Man City in UK: Live stream, TV channel, lineups, prediction for Premier League match

After a 5-0 victory against Southampton in their last Premier League fixture, Brentford faces a tough test against Manchester City on Tuesday night.

In their most recent Premier League outing, Brentford delivered a resounding 5-0 victory over Southampton—a performance that manager Thomas Frank considers one of the most significant during his tenure.

However, their momentum was abruptly halted in the FA Cup third round, where they suffered a surprising 1-0 loss to Plymouth on Saturday.

City enters the clash with momentum, having dispatched Salford 8-0 in FA Cup action. James McAtee's hat-trick and Jack Grealish's first goal since December highlighted their attacking prowess.

Their league form is equally impressive, evidenced by a convincing 4-1 win over West Ham, though Guardiola remains measured about their progress.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Brentford vs. Man City predicted lineups, team news

Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have emerged as Brentford's home scoring specialists, contributing 17 of the team's 27 Premier League goals at the Gtech Community Stadium this season. Their return provides a significant boost for the upcoming fixture.

Rico Henry's comeback after a 16-month absence marked a bright spot during the Plymouth defeat, with the left-back completing over 60 minutes. The newly contracted Keane Lewis-Potter is expected to share defensive responsibilities with Henry.

However, Thomas Frank's squad remains significantly depleted. The injury list features Josh Dasilva, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, Gustavo Nunes, and Ryan Trevitt, who are all unavailable for selection due to various injuries ranging from knee issues to thigh strains.

Brentford predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Flekken (GK) — Roerslev, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter — Norgaard, Janelt, Damsgaard — Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade

Injured: Josh Dasilva (knee), Ethan Pinnock (thigh), Kristoffer Ajer (ankle), Ben Mee (unspecified), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Igor Thiago (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back), Ryan Trevitt (Achilles)
Suspended: None

Manchester City's injury list includes Rodri's ACL concern, Ruben Dias nursing a calf issue, Oscar Bobb's leg problem, and John Stones managing a foot injury. 

The defensive reshuffling becomes more complex with Kyle Walker's situation, as the England international has reportedly requested a transfer to a club abroad. Rico Lewis looks set to step into the right-back position for Tuesday's fixture.

The champions will likely rotate their squad following the FA Cup victory, with several first-team regulars expected to return in place of McAtee, Doku, and Grealish, who featured prominently in the weekend's cup triumph.

Man City predicted lineup (4-1-4-1, right to left): Ortega (GK) — Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol — Kovacic — Foden, Silva, De Bruyne, Savinho — Haaland.

Injured: Rodri (ACL), Ruben Dias (calf), Oscar Bobb (leg), John Stones (foot)
Suspended: —

Brentford vs. Man City Prediction 

Based on current form and historical patterns, Manchester City enter as strong favorites. The defending champions are leading the league with four comeback victories. In contrast, Brentford's tendency to surrender leads - five times after scoring first - suggests vulnerability. While Yoane Wissa's early strike in their September encounter set a precedent, Manchester City's recent momentum and attacking prowess points toward a 3-1 victory for the visitors.
