Brentford v Manchester City team news and preview

Brentford boss Thomas Frank makes two changes to his side, bringing in Mathias Jorgensen and Mikkel Damsgaard for Mathias Jensen and Kevin Schade. Star striker Ivan Toney is sitting out an eight-month ban for betting offences. 

Pep Guardiola makes seven changes with an eye on bigger games to come, with Ederson, Aymeric Laporte, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez, Kalvin Phillips, Julian Alvarez and Cole Palmer getting chances. 

Erling Haaland, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and John Stones are among the substitutes and Kevin de Bruyne hasn't even made the squad. 

City might have already put the gift wrapping on a successful Premier League title defence, but they will want to finish the campaign strongly with FA Cup and Champions League finals around the corner.

Pep Guardiola’s men secured the league crown with two games to spare and are steamrolling towards a spectacular Treble; they will face Manchester United at Wembley next Saturday and Inter Milan a week later in Istanbul for the chance to become European champions for the first time.

It has been a successful season for Brentford and they still stand an outside chance of finishing it off with European qualification – if they win and Aston Villa and Tottenham lose, they will jump into seventh place and secure a Europa Conference League spot.

That might not be as impossible as it sounds, as the Bees proved back in November when they stunned City with a 2-1 win at the Etihad, Ivan Toney netting a 98th-minute winner to complete his brace.

Soccer fans can watch a Brentford v Manchester City live stream on Peacock in the US, with kick-off set for 10am ET / 7am PT on Saturday morning.

NBC is the official US broadcaster for the 2022/23 EPL season. Peacock TV live streams the vast majority of games.

How to watch Brentford v Manchester City without cable:

OTT streaming service Sling TV is reasonably priced and includes NBC in select markets, as part of its Sling Blue package. The usual cost is $40 a month, but if you're new to the service you can get your first month for half price.

Another over-the-top streaming service that includes USA Network and NBC in select markets is FuboTV. It's a much more comprehensive cable replacement, and carries more than 100 channels including Fox, CBS and ESPN.

Prices start at $74.99 a month after a FREE FuboTV trial.

If you subscribe to Peacock, Sling or any other US streaming service and find yourself unable to access coverage because you're out of the country, consider using a VPN as outlined below - we rate ExpressVPN as the best of the best.

How to watch Brentford v Manchester City from outside your country

We've set out how you can live stream Brentford v Manchester City in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away travelling for pleasure or for work, you probably won't be able to watch the game like you normally would at home. This is the result of geo-blocking - best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to specific parts of the world.

The best VPN can let you get around these digital borders, while also offering robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping. VPNs are also really easy to use.
