Manchester City have registered wins against Chelsea, Ipswich Town and West Ham already this season, and are unbeaten at the Etihad Stadium since a 1-2 loss to Brentford in November 2022, prior to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Only Manchester City and Liverpool have won their opening three games of the season, meanwhile Brentford have registered two league victories, beating both Crystal Palace and Southampton.

Erling Haaland scored the only goal during a 1-0 win over Brentford in February, with the 24-year-old having already scored seven goals in the Premier League this season, emphatically netting successive hat-tricks last month.

Phil Foden scored a hat-trick in the reverse fixture last season, and the Englishman could make his first start of the season for Manchester City this weekend, following a recent absence due to illness.
