City take on Brentford on Saturday, 9 May (17:30 kick-off UK) as we bid to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points.
It’s almost three weeks since the Blues beat the Gunners 2-1 at the Etihad, with away games against Burnley, Southampton and Everton sandwiched in-between.
Now the boss is hoping the City fans can help make it an enjoyable and buoyant 90 minutes against the Europa League-chasing Bees.

“It’s a long time since the last game against Arsenal,” said Pep.
“I love to play at home, hopefully [our people] can come and put pressure on Arsenal by helping us win our games. That’s all we can do.”
The boss was also asked about Jeremy Doku’s red-hot form, particularly over the last few months.
The Belgian bagged two spectacular goals against Everton, with his second rescuing what could be a crucial point deep into added time.
Asked what he believed was the reason in his step up in goals and productivity, Pep joked: “[It’s because of] the manager, always!
“When the players play good, it’s because of the manager, if they’re bad it’s them.
“I’m so glad he made the step to score, and feels the winger has to score and make an impact not just the action one against one, not just the goals and assists but his contributions defensively.
“Jeremy has been amazing this season, amazing.”
Pep was also asked about the City in the Community takeover for the Brentford game, commenting:” It’s not just for tomorrow, but for ten years.
“We’ve done an incredible job; it’s not just forget the past. All the things work when you are consistent to do it, that’s what the Premier League is about doing every single week, every aspect in our life is like that.
“When you have been involved in the community for ten years like this club and doing many things. And of course we celebrate tomorrow.”
