If, at the start of the season, someone had asked you about which team would beat Man City twice, what are the odds you would've named Brentford? Yet here they are, Brentford who have done a double over Pep Guardiola's side.
Man City 1-2 Brentford, 12 November 2022
Brentford 1-0 Man City, 28 May 2023
Brentford have had an amazing season finishing just three points below the much-talked-about Brighton and one point below Spurs.
They have improved on their 13th position in the 2021-22 season by picking up 13 more points.
One of their main strengths is set pieces; in fact, they are arguably the best in the world at it.
One of the reasons for it is that they view set pieces as part of the game, not as extras with little chance to yield good results. They target the main weakness of each opponent and prepare accordingly, and often change their routines during games.
