Manchester City's failure to beat Everton on Monday night means that they now have to win their remaining four league games and hope Arsenal slip up if the Citizens are to secure the title this season.
We are backing Pep Guardiola's side to secure all three points this weekend. The hosts have won six of their last seven matches across all competitions and beat Brentford when the pair met for October's reverse league meeting.
However, we do expect both teams to score in this game as City have only managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six outings in the Premier League. Brentford have seen six of their last 11 matches end with both teams scoring, and in Igor Thiago, they have the only striker who has challenged Erling Haaland for the top goalscorer award in the Premier League this season.
The Brazilian forward has scored 22 times in 35 league games for the Bees, only three goals fewer than the Norwegian goal machine.
Jeremy Doku put in a fantastic solo display at Hill Dickinson last time out, scoring two cracking curling efforts past Jordan Pickford, to help Guardiola's side scrape a point.
The Belgian winger has been in great form of late, scoring four goals and providing two assists in his last five appearances across all competitions. The pacey wide man has nine goal contributions in the Premier League alone, and we're backing him to add to that total on Saturday.
Manchester City 3-1 Brentford
