Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brentford

Manchester City could momentarily climb to the Premier League summit when they welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

The Citizens currently sit two points behind leaders Arsenal, who face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening, and they head into their contest with the Bees after winning each of their last four matches across all competitions.

Pep Guardiola's men followed up a last-gasp 2-1 league win over Fulham last weekend with a 2-0 triumph against Chelsea in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday night.

City's clash with Brentford is their final fixture before the World Cup, and here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Thomas Frank's side.

Kyle Walker has been selected in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the 2022 World Cup, but the right-back is set to remain sidelined for this weekend's fixture as he continues to recover from groin surgery.

Man City have no suspended players for this match, with Joao Cancelo returning after serving a one-match ban in midweek.
