Premier League result: Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City beaten by Brentford as Ivan Toney scores twice in their final match before the World Cup

Onyeka surges on to a delightful flick-on and bursts into the area, but his low shot is brilliantly blocked by the advancing Ederson.

Brentford have lost four matches in a row against Manchester City in all competitions since a 2-1 victory at Griffin Park in the League Cup in September 1989. Indeed, the Bees have been beaten in six of their seven away games versus the Cityzens in all competitions, with the exception being a 2-0 top-flight victory at Maine Road on Christmas Day 1937.

Brentford get us underway.

Haaland is aiming to become the first Manchester City player to score in seven consecutive top-flight home matches since David White from December 1991 to February 1992.

“We've had some ups and down results over the last couple of weeks and I know we have a tough opponent ahead of us, but I think we're going there with the belief of us being able to get something out of it, so it will be important for both me personally and the team to finish off in a good way.”

Christian Norgaard, deemed fit enough for the bench this afternoon

“Is it going to be difficult? It’ll be unbelievably difficult. They have an almost complete squad and added Haaland who will be destroying goal records in the coming years. A lot has been said about him – he is a machine. They are an unbelievably difficult side to close down, but I back us to do something.”

Brentford boss Thomas Frank

"It was an amazing feeling. There’s been doubt with my shoulder and injury. It’s been a long time but I’m glad to be back out there and playing with the lads. Without playing football for a while it's going to be nerve wracking when you first step on the pitch, especially one of my first appearances for the Club. It felt good and it made it easier with the two goals going in straight away."

"They (Brentford) change a little bit the shape this season. I remember how tough it was meeting here and away. It will be quite similar. It’s an early kick off, which is always a little bit more complicated. It’s the last game before the stop (World Cup) - we have to do our game and do our job."

The big news for the visitors is that Ivan Toney is back to lead the attack following suspension.

Frank Onyeka and Zanka also get the nod.

The towering Norwegian is one of three changes for the hosts. Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte also come in.
