Brentford travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday looking to secure a historic European berth.<\/p>\n
Keith Andrews<\/a> has guided his side to seventh place with three matches remaining. The Bees sit just one point behind Bournemouth<\/a> in the race for continental football. They arrive in Manchester fresh from a convincing 3\u20130 victory over West Ham<\/a>. However, Brentford have lost three of their four previous Premier League visits to this ground.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Brentford have developed into late-goal specialists under Andrews\u2019 guidance this season. Only Liverpool<\/a> have netted more goals in the final fifteen minutes of matches. This could be crucial against a City side that has conceded the fewest in that timeframe. The Bees also boast the highest shot conversion rate in the division at 13.8%. Andrews will set his team up to sit deep and frustrate the title chasers.<\/p>\n Brentford team news<\/p>\n Head coach Keith Andrews confirmed that Jordan Henderson<\/a> will return to the matchday squad. The midfielder has been a significant miss since the draw at Leeds<\/a> in March. Vitaly Janelt<\/a> is also closer to a return after a full week of training. That said, Rico Henry<\/a> is not yet ready despite returning to light work on the grass. Fabio Carvalho<\/a> and Antoni Milambo<\/a> remain long-term absentees for the West London club.<\/p>\n Igor Thiago<\/a> remains the primary goal threat for the visitors this afternoon. The Brazilian has scored twenty-two goals from seventy-nine shots this season. His conversion rate of 27.9% is among the best recorded in Premier League history. Only four players have produced a higher ratio since records began in 2003-04. Thiago is currently locked in a two-horse race with Erling Haaland<\/a> for the Golden Boot.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Brentford predicted lineup<\/p>\n Brentford predicted XI: Kelleher<\/a>; Kayode<\/a>, Van den Berg<\/a>, Collins, Hickey; Jensen, Yarmolyuk; Ouattara, Damsgaard<\/a>, Lewis-Potter; Thiago.<\/p>\n When will the match kick off?<\/p>\n Brentford face Manchester United<\/a> at 17:30 BST on Saturday evening at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n How to watch Manchester City vs Brentford?<\/p>\n UK viewers can watch live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event.
