Manchester City continue the defence of their Premier League title against Brentford today.

City are top of the table and looking in great shape after three successive victories. Pep Guardiola’s side beat West Ham 3-1 before the break to continue their perfect start to their title campaign.

And star striker Erling Haaland has been at his imperious best with seven goals including two hat-tricks already this season, though his involvement this weekend is in doubt following the death of a close friend.
