Take a look at the confirmed lineups for the Premier League matchday 23 fixture between Brenford and Manchester City at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, England.

Manchester City visit Brentford for the Premier League matchday 23 fixture on Monday. The two sides will meet at the Gtech Community Stadium at 21.00 CET.

The home side are the boogey team for Guardiola's men as they have lost their last two Premier League matches against the Bees. The two teams will meet again in a fortnight's time at the Etihad Stadium to play the match that was postponed due to the Club World Cup final.

Spanish media have speculated in recent days that Haaland could turn his back on City for Real Madrid after being surprisingly overlooked for the top individual awards despite Guardiola's men winning the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup last season.

However, Guardiola said the 23-year-old will have a smile back on his face now that he is fit after a foot injury. "You have to ask the media from Madrid if he is unhappy," said Guardiola on Friday.

Haaland made his comeback as a second-half substitute in City's routine 3-1 win over Burnley on Wednesday. The Norwegian striker is expected to make an impact at the Gtech Community Stadium as he attempts to return to his goal-scoring form after injury.

Brentford starting XI: Flekken (GK); Collins, Mee, Pinnock; Roerslev, Janelt, Jensen, Norgaard, Reguilon; Toney and Maupay.

Man City starting XI: Ederson (GK); Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake; Nunes, Rodri; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Alvarez and Haaland.
