Brentford Seeks to Topple Manchester City's Scoring Juggernaut

On Sunday, October 8th, 2025, Brentford will host the high-flying Manchester City in a Premier League clash. Pep Guardiola's side has been in scintillating form, with Erling Haaland leading the charge. The Norwegian striker has scored an impressive 8 goals in just 6 Premier League games so far this season, including a brace against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week.

However, Brentford will be looking to pull off another upset, having defeated Manchester United 3-1 last weekend. The Bees' striker, Igor Thiago, has also been in fine form, matching Haaland's tally of 4 goals in the league. If Brentford can overcome the reigning champions, they will become only the second team in Premier League history to beat both Manchester clubs in back-to-back games, following in the footsteps of Tottenham Hotspur in 1996.

Despite Brentford's impressive start to the season, they may struggle to contain Haaland and Manchester City's free-scoring attack. The visitors will be determined to bounce back from their recent defeat to Tottenham Hotspur and maintain their position at the top of the table.
