Meanwhile, Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has stated Christian Eriksen, who is seeking a return to top-flight football following a cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2022 clash against Finland last year, will not be playing against Manchester City.
Eriksen has already started training with his new teammates but Frank doesn't want to rush with him. "One thing is for sure; he’ll not play against Manchester City. We’ll take it day by day," he said.
"If we go there and get something it’ll be one of the biggest surprises in this year’s Premier League. Manchester City are the clear number one in the league, playing some brilliant football and having a fantastic season," Frank said.
Gabriel Jesus is a doubtful starter for Manchester City due to a muscular injury while Cole Palmer has been ruled out already.
For Brentford, Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa are available for selection against Manchester City after recovering from COVID-19. Mathias Jorgensen, Tarique Fosu and Julian Jeanvier are absent.
Both Manchester City and Brentford have met just once in the Premier League, which was earlier in the season. Manchester City won that game away from home.
