Manchester City hot on Arsenal's heels again
Manchester City dominated Brentford this Saturday in the 36th round of the Premier League (3-0).

Upset five days earlier by Everton (3-3), Manchester City piled up points this Saturday at the expense of Brentford, as part of the 35th day of the Premier League.

Thanks to Doku (60th), Haaland (75th) and Marmoush (90th+2), the Skyblues made the difference today with a score of 3-0, thus coming back to two lengths behind the leader Arsenal.

The Cityzens, who still have to face Crystal Palace (15e), Bournemouth (6e) and Aston Villa (5e) – with a Cup final to manage in addition against Chelsea – therefore remain at the mercy of the Gunners who will be crowned in the event of a treble to come against West Ham (18e), Burnley (19e) and Crystal Palace (15e). Without forgetting of course the preparation for the Champions League final, on May 30 against PSG.

Manchester City-Brentford, the lineups at kickoff

City’s eleven: Donnarumma – Matheus Nunes, Aké, Guéhi, O’Reilly – Reijnders, Bernardo Silva – Semenyo, Cherki, Doku – Haaland.

Brentford XI: Kelleher – Kayode, Ajer, Collins, Hickey – Jensen, Yarmoliuk – Schade, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter – Thiago.
