Team Analysis
Manchester City's 11-game winning streak across all competitions was brought to a halt by Chelsea, who forced the Citizens into a 1-1 draw during their most recent match. Despite this, City continues to enjoy an unbeaten run and is poised to bounce back into victory which they missed out on at home on Tuesday. The draw against Chelsea prolonged Man City's unbeaten streak to 15 games. The City team has amassed 12 goals in their last five outings and boasts the season's third best attack, steered by the prolific Erling Haaland from Norway.

On the other hand, Brentford has suffered defeat in three of their last four league encounters, causing the team to slump into the league's lower half. Brentford will step onto the field in the wake of a 1-4 loss against Liverpool in their most recent game. It's important to note that they have managed to find the back of the net in their past 10 matches across all competitions. Thus, a goal from both sides is expected at The Citizens' stronghold on Tuesday.

Head-to-Head
Historically, the past four victories in the head-to-head comparison have been divided equally, with two wins for each club. In the previous fixture, City walked away with a decisive 1-3 victory, and Foden made his mark by scoring a hat-trick during the match. The two sides have faced off only twice at this stadium, each claiming one victory.

Odds Analysis
Having avoided defeat at home across many competitions, the City side has been in top form. The team's unbeaten streak at home stands at an extraordinary 18-matches. However, it's worth noting their defence has conceded goals in six of the last eight home matches. Additionally, City has emerged victorious in the first half and full time in seven of their 12 home matches this term, and managed to score 30 goals in these 12 home league fixtures.

Given their impressive attack and somewhat porous defence, the likely outcome of this game is a win for Man City, yet both teams scoring. Also, City has claimed victory in both halves in 7 of their 12 home league matches, and the same outcome is anticipated against Brentford, with odds of 1.67. Considering their robust attack, it's also conceivable that City will score more than 2.5 goals.

Pick: Man City to win & Both Teams to Score
