Manchester City can make it 10 Premier League wins in a row tonight if they claim three points at Brentford.

The Premier League leaders have been in imperious form and extended their winning run thanks to a 6-3 victory over Leicester on Boxing Day.

Pep Guardiola was without Kyle Walker, Rodri and John Stones due to fitness concerns, while Phil Foden and Jack Grealish could return to the starting line-up.

Brentford's list of absentees was extended after Christian Norgaard was suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 2-0 defeat to Brighton last time out.

Here’s all you need to know before the match tonight.

The match will kick-off at 20:15 GMT on Wednesday 29 December at the Brentford Community Stadium.
