Pep Guardiola is contemplating whether to stick or twist for the Premier League game against Brentford.
Having swept aside Championship opponents Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the champions return to their main order of business at the same venue on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
Given that second-placed Liverpool are in action 24 hours later, victory over Brentford would see City move a huge 12 points clear at the summit - although in any scenario they would have played two more matches than the Reds.
