Why We’re Backing Phil Foden to Score Anytime @ 12/5 with Coral

  • Foden has scored five goals in his last two appearances at the Gtech, netting a hat-trick against Brentford in the 2023/24 season and a brace last term.
  • He will line up against a Bees defence that has leaked six goals in their last three Premier League matches.
  • The England international found the net in the Citizens’ last domestic away fixture, an EFL Cup tie at Huddersfield.

Brentford Form/Stats

  • Brentford went into the weekend in 13th place, but all seven of their points have come at home this season.
  • While the Bees are unbeaten in four matches at the Gtech, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three on their own patch.

Manchester City Form/Stats

  • Man City are unbeaten in six in all competitions, claiming four wins in that period.
  • The Citizens, who drew 2-2 with Monaco in the Champions League in midweek, are averaging two goals per game on their travels in all competitions.

Player to Watch

Brentford stunned Manchester United at the Gtech last weekend, running out 3-1 winners having taken an early two-goal lead thanks to the brilliance of Igor Thiago.

Thiago sprang the Red Devils’ offside trap to open the scoring with a powerful effort last week, then pounced on a loose ball to double his tally.

The Brazilian made just eight appearances in an injury-hit 2024/25 season, but he’s making up for lost time now he’s fit, scoring four goals in six matches to plug the void left by the departures of Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo.

With his confidence at an all-time high, the Brentford hitman could prove a thorn in the Citizens’ side.
