Best Tip: Man City to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this game, and it's Man City. Their latest form statistics show they're capable at home, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they know how to beat Brentford too. The odds point towards Pep Guardiola's side winning in the win / draw / win market, and that's definitely our prediction for Saturday afternoon too.
