We simulated Man City vs Brentford to get a score prediction for Premier League clash

Manchester City will be looking to stay at the top of the Premier League this weekend when they welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium.

Three wins from thee and a superior goal difference to Liverpool saw City go into the international break as Premier League leaders, with Erling Haaland scoring seven goals in the opening three games, including back-to-back hat-tricks. A 3-1 win away to West Ham sent City top of the table, and they'll be looking to continue their winning start against Brentford later today.

The Bees have started the season well, winning two and losing one of their opening three games. Haaland may be absent for the clash on Saturday, with City granting the striker compassionate leave after the passing of a close family friend. Phil Foden has returned to training though, with the Englishman in contention to return for City on Saturday.

So, can City pick up a fourth win in a row in the Premier League this weekend? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions, however as we're still using EA FC 24, the kits are from last season, and squad numbers may not be accurate.

We predict that City could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Lewis, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Silva, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Grealish.

We predict that the Bees could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt; Mbuemo, Wissa, Shade.
