What channel is Man City vs Brentford on? TV and live stream details plus team news

Manchester City return to Premier League action this week as they welcome Thomas Frank's Brentford to the Etihad.

Phil Foden's strike inside 20 minutes proved to be the difference in the reverse fixture as last season's Championship play-off winner's look to bounce back from a dismal 4-1 FA Cup defeat to Everton.

The Blues won by the same scoreline as they shook off an early scare to dispatch Marco Silva's Fulham side in the fourth round last weekend.

Fabio Carvalho startled City but Ilkay Gundogan was on hand to restore parity minutes later before John Stones and a Riyad Mahrez double saw off the challenge of the free-scoring Cottagers.

As Pep Guardiola's men focus diverts back onto Premier League matters, despite their seemingly perilous position at the summit, Liverpool remain close with a game in hand nine points off.

Gabriel Jesus missed the visit of the Championship league leaders on Saturday after suffering a knock on international duty with Brazil, and remains sidelined.

Cole Palmer is also still out. Guardiola confirmed pre-Fulham that he suffered a problem after starring against Swindon last month and hasn't trained with assessments over the next weeks.

Brentford meanwhile see Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa doubtful after bouts with COVID. But Mathias Jorgensen, Tarique Fosu and Julian Jeanvier all out.

January signing Christian Eriksen is unlikely to feature due to his absence away from football.
