Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction and Betting Tips - 29th December 2021

Manchester City will play their final Premier League clash of the year away to Brentford on Wednesday, hoping to end a memorable year on a high.

The Sky Blues are breathing fire at the moment, winning each of their last nine league games to open up a six-point lead at the top of the table. They have achieved this, however, playing a game more than second-placed Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola's swashbuckling team have struck a staggering 17 times in their last three games alone. This included a 7-0 drubbing of Leeds United and recently a 6-3 vanquish of Leicester City.

They're the side nobody wants to play right now and it will be interesting to see how Brentford cope with their free-scoring form.

The Bees are languishing 13th in the table with 20 points from 17 games and just one win in their last four outings.

Thomas Frank's side are also coming off the back of a 2-0 loss to Brighton on Sunday, their seventh top-flight loss of the season.
