PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW
“I don’t remember against Thomas Frank – a person I admire unbelievably - an easy game against Brentford,” Guardiola said.
“Since they’ve been promoted I don’t remember it. Always it’s been tough here and there. They’ve changed their shape a little bit and I had the feeling they play a little more in a style like when they were in the Championship.

“With [Ivan] Toney more direct and they can do it strong and fast players up front. They have a good process in the build up. Man-to-man so aggressive. They are so well-organised in the transitions and they are a complete team.”

LAST TIME OUT
Erling Haaland maintained his impeccable start to the season securing his 11th hat-trick for City - helping us to a 3-1 victory against West Ham United last time out.
Pep Guardiola’s side took the lead only 10 minutes into the match which was soon followed by a Ruben Dias own goal to draw the hosts level.
The Norwegian soon struck again in the 30th minute, quickly restoring our lead before finishing it off by firing home once more before the final whistle, representing an impressive 24th career hat-trick.
