Trio Back In Action Grealish Confident Declares Brentford No Match for Man City Ahead of Showdown

Manchester City return to Premier League play this afternoon against Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. The visit of the Bees kicks off a busy seven-game run between now and the October international break, as Pep Guardiola’s side competes in the Premier League, Champions League, and Carabao Cup.

City were dealt a setback when Nathan Ake was ruled out until after the international break, but the return of Phil Foden has given them hope.

With that in mind, Manchester Evening News writers have selected the starting lineup they believe City should use against Thomas Frank’s side.
