Manchester City vs Brentford – Premier League 2025/26

Manchester City vs Brentford has grown into an intriguing fixture since Brentford’s promotion in 2021. While City are a mainstay in the title race, Brentford have carved out a reputation as one of the league’s most tactically flexible and hard-working sides. Matches at the Etihad have typically leaned in City’s favour, but Brentford have caused problems for even the league’s elite.

As of May 2025, City have won three of the last four meetings at the Etihad, but Brentford famously beat them 2–1 in November 2022, ending City’s long home unbeaten streak. That result remains one of the most unexpected upsets in recent seasons and serves as a reminder of Brentford’s ability to compete with top-tier opposition.

In 2025/26, Manchester City will aim to maintain their strong home form against a Brentford side that has already shown they can compete at the Etihad. The memory of Brentford’s 2022 win still lingers, adding context to a fixture that, while often favouring City, has proved unpredictable in recent years.
