Manchester City's Premier League title bid took a hit on Monday night as they were held 3-3 at Everton, but it could've been worse for Pep Guardiola's side as they were 3-1 down. The Citizens will look to get back on track this Saturday (17:30 BST, Sky Sports Main Event) when they host European-chasing Brentford at the Etihad Stadium.

Below are my Manchester City vs Brentford Bet Builder Tips.

Michael Kayode (BRE) Carded

Brentford right-back Michael Kayode has been shown seven yellow cards in 34 Premier League appearances this season, receiving his latest booking in last Saturday's 3-0 victory over West Ham United at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The 21-year-old, who is averaging 0.7 fouls per game in the competition this term, faces a tough test at the Etihad against in-form Man City winger Jeremy Doku. The Belgium international is averaging 2.2 fouls won per game in the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, and he was taken down seven times at Everton earlier this week, with Blues right-back Jake O'Brien making three fouls and earning a yellow card for taking Doku down late on.

Last time out at the Etihad, Doku was fouled six times, with stand-in Arsenal right-back Cristhian Mosquera making four fouls and seeing yellow for upending the City star.

Manchester City vs Brentford Odds

Jeremy Doku (MCI) 1+ Shots on Target

Doku is in terrific goalscoring form, bagging a brace at Everton on Monday to make it four goals in his last four appearances across all competitions.

The 23-year-old has registered at least one shot on target in three of his last four Premier League games, and carrying so much confidence, he's expected to at least test Caoimhin Kelleher in the Brentford net on Saturday.

Matheus Nunes (MCI) 2+ Tackles

City right-back Matheus Nunes is averaging 1.8 tackles per game in this season's Premier League, recording five last time out at Everton.

The 27-year-old has made at least two tackles in four of his last seven league games, and the last two right-backs Brentford have faced, Manchester United's Diogo Dalot (three) and West Ham's Kyle Walker-Peters (two), have registered 2+ tackles.
