Manchester City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to seven matches when they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Pep Guardiola’s side have picked up seven points from their last nine available in the top flight, with three of those points collected from a 5-1 home victory over Burnley last weekend.
However, the Citizens had to settle for a share of the spoils in the Champions League on Wednesday night, as they controversially conceded an 89th-minute penalty to draw 2-2 with Monaco in the League Phase.
Man City's focus now shifts back to the Premier League, and here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of this weekend’s contest with Keith Andrews’s side.
