Manchester City could move within two points of the top of the Premier League with a win at Brentford.
Liverpool’s defeat to Arsenal has opened the door for Pep Guardiola’s side, who will still have a game in hand on their title rivals after Monday night’s fixture.

Brentford, meanwhile, have slipped into the thick of an increasingly intriguing relegation battle after a run of six defeats in seven league games.
