Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester City-Brentford, the likely lineups.

Manchester City faces Brentford in the 6:30 p.m. match of the 36th day of the Premier League. Guardiola’s team has its back to the wall after the draw with Everton and must compulsorily win if it wants to keep its title dreams alive: now Arsenal is five points behind with one game to spare. The guests are insidious: Brentford currently occupies seventh position and is in full fight for qualification for the European cups.

Guardiola has to deal with several absences in defense and midfield, among them Gvardiol, Dias and Rodri. In attack Haaland leads the way, supported by Semenyo, Cherki and Doku. In the midfield Nico Gonzalez and Silva, Donnarumma in goal.

Brentford responds with Thiago as central point, three-quarter made up of Ouattara, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter. On the flanks are Kayode and Hickey.
