Back to the PL

Tough game as Brentford gave been excellent at home so far this season and Brentford have a good record against us recently.

Few selection questions for Pep. Will Ederson keep his place. After his hat trick on Saturday, will there be room for McAtee? Might we see Bobb on the bench?

1-1 Doku

Big test. Not at all convinced that we've turned the corner.
Can see a defeat here.

Brentford’s form is terrible. They’re 11th currently and only a few points above the Rags. They’ve not been great this season and only have one win in five.

If we can’t beat them then we need to get our hands in our pockets asap.

They've only lost once at home this season in the league, hopefully their more recent form stands us better chance of a win.

a couple of months ago this would have been a guaranteed embarrassing defeat but their home form has taken a dip
that said, it won't be an easy game but i think we'll win
16-0 city

These are everything that we are shit against. Sit back and hit us on the counter or press our scared as shit backline. Add to that danger from set-pieces and this will not go well for us. We HAVE to change our shape, we won't and we will lose as a result.

Walker didn’t travel with squad. Surprise surprise. Next home match is 25 January. He is likely to have gone to Milan by then.
