How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Brentford

Brentford are tough to score against in front of their own fans at Gtech Community Stadium, though they don't create a great deal themselves.

Away

Manchester City

One of the league's best sides. Man City should have most of the ball on the road at Gtech Community Stadium, so the question is whether Brentford can stay compact for 90 minutes.
