Match Details
The match takes place at the Etihad Stadium. The exact date and kick-off time are confirmed closer to the fixture and may be subject to change for television. The full 2026-2027 fixture list was released in mid-June.
Etihad Stadium
The Etihad Stadium has been Manchester City's home since 2003 and now holds over 60,000 following the completion of its North Stand expansion, reopened as the Pep Guardiola Stand in honour of the club's most successful manager. City have established a formidable home record there, making the Etihad one of the most difficult grounds to visit in European football. The club's transformation from the old Maine Road days to this state-of-the-art arena mirrors their rise to become one of England's dominant forces.
Head-to-Head Record
Manchester City lead the all-time head-to-head record with 15 wins from 24 meetings, compared to Brentford's seven victories and just two draws. The fixture dates back to 1933 when City thrashed the Bees 6-1 in the FA Cup at Maine Road. City have won the bulk of encounters since Brentford's promotion to the Premier League in 2021. However, Brentford proved they can upset the odds in 2022-23, beating City both home and away — including a memorable 2-1 victory at the Etihad courtesy of an Ivan Toney brace.
Last Meeting
Manchester City defeated Brentford 3-0 in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium in May 2026. Jérémy Doku broke the deadlock just past the hour with a fine finish, Erling Haaland doubled the lead in the 75th minute and Omar Marmoush added a third deep into stoppage time, with City having had to be patient against a well-organised Brentford side. Earlier in the season, City had also beaten Brentford 2-0 in the EFL Cup quarter-finals at the Etihad, Rayan Cherki and Savinho on the scoresheet, on their way to lifting the trophy.
Manchester City
Manchester City remain one of English football's dominant forces. Last season they finished as Premier League runners-up and completed a domestic cup double, winning both the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. The campaign proved to be Pep Guardiola's last after a transformative decade at the club, and his former assistant Enzo Maresca has been appointed as his successor on a three-year deal. With strength and depth across the squad and Erling Haaland's relentless goalscoring leading the line, City will again be expected to challenge at the top under their new manager.
Brentford
Keith Andrews oversaw an impressive campaign for Brentford in 2025-26, with the Bees challenging in the upper half of the table and pushing for European qualification on the final day. Their trademark long throws and set-piece threat remain a potent weapon, while Igor Thiago established himself as one of the league's most clinical finishers, finishing among the division's top scorers. Backed by a blend of experienced additions and the club's well-regarded recruitment, Brentford will aim to build on a strong season.
