Brentford
The team made it to the Premier League not so long ago. But at the same time, she demonstrated such a stable and quite spectacular game that she began to be perceived as a strong middle player of this division. It seemed that in the new draw, Thomas Frank’s wards could aim for something more, primarily due to the excellent performance statistics on their own field. But in winter, the bees clearly slowed down. There was even a stretch of 4 defeats (including relegation from the League Cup) in a goalless draw with struggling Brighton. And only in January, the series was interrupted, braving the deaf outsider, Southampton (5:0 with a double and an assist from Mbemo). Playing in the cup against Plymouth, the team shocked everyone by relegation.

Manchester City
At the beginning of the new calendar year, the club began to come to its senses. But how much was lost through the shocking failure of the preceding months! Here, the relegation from the unstable Tottenham in the League Cup, and failures in the Champions League, due to which one of the favorites has still not decided the issue of entering the playoffs. And, most importantly, the champion took 1 victory and 5 points in 9 matches in the EPL, essentially saying goodbye to the title. On the other hand, in January, Holland and company were able to beat Leicester and West Ham consecutively. This, of course, always looked like a passing goal for Guardiola’s boys, almost an obligatory task. But now, against the background of Chelsea’s decline, it has reduced the gap from the top 4 to almost a minimum. In the cup with Salford, they completely lost their souls, winning 8:0.
Statistics of personal meetings
Frank’s wards had a good time playing with the champion in the season before last. But now three times in a row the townspeople are stronger.
Forecast
Bookmakers do not believe that Thomas Frank and his wards will create problems for the reigning champion. We bet on the victory of the guests in this match (coefficient – 1.65).
