Manchester City welcome Brentford to the Etihad in the Premier League this evening.
Pep Guardiola’s squad offered Liverpool a faint hope in the title race when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton prior to the international break.
However, City still remain nine points clear at the top of the table and showed few signs of weakness in a comfortable 4-1 thrashing of Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round last weekend.
Meanwhile, Brentford are fighting to avoid being drawn into a relegation battle, having now lost their last four league games in succession.
There were few positives to reap from their own FA Cup tie either, as Thomas Frank’s side were defeated 4-1 by Everton. Here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s match:
When is it and what time is kick-off?
The match will get underway at 7.45pm on Wednesday 9 January at the Etihad Stadum.
How can I watch it online and on TV?
