Manchester City can reclaim top spot with a win over Brentford in the first game of this weekend’s Premier League TV schedule – if only until Arsenal play Wolves on Saturday evening.
The Gunners have emerged as Man City’s main title challengers in 2022/23 and will be desperate to make it to the World Cup break with their two-point lead at the top of the Premier League intact.
Pep Guardiola’s side have a chance to pile the pressure on them as they host the Bees at the Etihad in the early kick-off, and are searching for a fourth league win since their defeat to Liverpool in October.
They needed an element of fortune to continue that run against Fulham last weekend as Erling Haaland converted a controversial late penalty to give them a 2-1 win against the West Londoners.
Thomas Frank will hope his side can scare their hosts as well when they make the trip up to the North West as they look to cap a fantastic first part of the 2022/23 campaign.
Brentford have managed to avoid sliding into a second-season slump and sit 11th in the table ahead of Saturday’s game.

Our prediction: Man City v Brentford
Man City have not been wholly convincing in recent weeks, requiring Kevin De Bruyne’s brilliant free-kick to edge out Leicester and then striking some late fortune against Fulham – but a trip to the Etihad is still one of the Premier League’s toughest challenges.
The Bees have not shied away from such tasks since arriving in the top flight and even with a lengthy injury list, Frank’s side will fancy their chances on Saturday.
Ivan Toney will likely be playing with a point to prove after being left out of the England World Cup squad by Gareth Southgate, but even that may not be enough to help Brentford avoid defeat.
Our prediction: Man City 3-1 Brentford (11/1 at bet365)
