Manchester City Bidding to Keep Up 100% Record Against Brentford
Premier League champions Manchester City have made the perfect start to their 2024/25 campaign, with three victories from their opening three matches. Their next test comes at home to Brentford on Saturday, 14th of September.
City have picked up wins over Chelsea, Ipswich Town and West Ham so far this season. On paper, it looked to be a tricky start for Pep Guardiola’s side, but they have scored nine goals in those games and conceded just twice.
Champions Open Up as Warm Favourites
You can find here the Paddy Power Man City vs Brentford betting markets, and you can see the home side are the warm favourites at 1-7 to keep up their 100% record. Guardiola has plenty of time to prepare for the game as the international fixtures mean the Premier League takes a short break.
Manchester City are likely to be one of the most popular Premier League tips for this game as they have a great record against Brentford. They have defeated the Bees in four of their six Premier League encounters.
Although the West London club have often struggled at the Etihad Stadium, they did pick up a victory there two years ago. Ivan Toney scored twice in a 2-1 victory over the champions in what was one of the biggest upsets of the season.
Pep Guardiola’s side face a busy schedule following the international break. Four days after the Brentford game, they begin their Champions League campaign at home to Italian side Inter Milan. City also have a crucial home fixture against last season’s runners-up Arsenal to prepare for, while they are in EFL Cup action against Watford.
Liverpool Get Off to a Perfect Start Too
Liverpool are the only other team in the Premier League to have started the 2024/25 campaign with a 100% record. Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds have opened up with wins over Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United.
Their recent 3-0 victory over rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford suggests Liverpool are strong title contenders this season. They are now 9/2 to lift the trophy in Slot’s first year in charge of the club.
Liverpool’s next game in the Premier League comes against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. New signing Federico Chiesa is expected to be available for that contest. The Italian joined the Merseyside club from Juventus for a fee in the region of £10 million on the eve of the summer transfer window closing.
Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their three matches this season in the Premier League. They picked up a victory over Southampton, while they have drawn with Bournemouth and Wolves. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping his side can cause an upset at Anfield in their next fixture.
Forest have lost their last six visits to Anfield. They have not beaten Liverpool away from home since 1978, and they must go further back for their last league victory there, as that was in 1969.
Good luck with all your bets in the upcoming round of fixtures in the Premier League.
