A fascinating clash is about to take place between Brentford and Manchester City, with the Bees having beaten the Blue Moon time and again, and even achieving a 'double' over City last season. Although this victory did not prevent City from winning the treble, it certainly added to the glory of Brentford's home ground. The return of Tony Ayun has certainly injected a shot in the arm for the team. With two goals in just two games, his importance cannot be overstated, and it was his coming through in the crucial moments that gave the team hope in the midst of adversity.
Brentford have lost 9 of their last 12 matches, winning only one of the 10 before their comeback, and the team is only 4 points above the relegation zone. Despite their rapid rise from the lower divisions in recent years, the risk of relegation is still too great to ignore. Nonetheless, the return of Evendoni has certainly brought confidence to the team, and his retention in the winter transfer window is a strong guarantee for the team's relegation success.
In addition to Evandoni, Yuni Wesa and McBiomo will also be back from the NCAA Cup. Their goal tally accounts for more than a third of Binford's Premier League goals, and the fact that all three are back at the same time is undoubtedly a great boon to the team. However, whether they will succeed in stopping the Blue Moon against such a powerful opponent as Manchester City is still an open question.
For Manchester City, the Blues have won six straight matches since the end of the World Cup, and they seem to be ready to launch a fierce title fight against Liverpool in the next few months. The team's midfielder, Chieuwendi Buni, is also in hot form, scoring a goal and contributing two assists in his last three matches, and his return gives City wings. The return of Aynin Chalant will be a big threat to City in the game.
Will Binford be able to withstand City's onslaught in this marquee clash? Will the comebacks of Evandoni, Unversa and McBiomo bring about a turnaround in the team's fortunes? Can City continue their winning streak and make a final push for the Premier League title? All the answers will be revealed in this intense match.
