Runaway leaders Manchester City host Brentford in the Premier League this evening.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently nine points clear at the top of the table, although closest rivals Liverpool do have a game in hand.
City returned from the winter break in style last weekend as a Riyad Mahrez double helped inspire a 4-1 victory over Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round.
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank’s side are currently eight points clear of the relegation zone, however, the Bees have now lost their last four league games in succession in a worrying slide.
There was little sign of a rejuvenation over the break either as Brentford were thrashed 4-1 by Everton in Frank Lampard’s first game in charge. Here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s match:
