Brentford vs Manchester City History
In 1932, these teams met for the very first time. It was the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, and it was Manchester City who ran out winners by six goals to one. Man City would exit the competition in the semi-finals at the hands of Arsenal, who themselves were defeated by Newcastle United at Wembley.
In 2022/23, Man City completed a historic Treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League titles. Meanwhile, at the end of the same season, Brentford had yet to win a major trophy for the first time.
Ben Mee joined Man City as a teenager and rose through the ranks of the club’s Academy. After a brief loan spell at Leicester City, Mee signed for Burnley in 2012 and he spent a decade at Turf Moor before moving to Brentford on a free transfer in 2022.
Brentford vs Manchester City Head-to-Head
More than 65 years after their maiden clash in 1932, the Bees and the Citizens reconvened in the 1989 FA Cup. It was Brentford that emerged victorious on this occasion, with a 3-1 victory at Griffin Park, but the London-based club later lost in the last-8 to eventual winners Liverpool.
Particularly in the top division of English football, meetings between Brentford and Man City have been extremely few and far between. Following promotion to the Premier League in 2021, the Bees met the Sky Blues in a top-flight fixture for the first time in 84 years.
When Man City travelled to the capital for this fixture in 2021/22, they contested a league fixture against Brentford for just the ninth time. Phil Foden scored the only goal of the game to hand the visitors a narrow victory.
The following league campaign, Ivan Toney scored twice at Etihad Stadium as Brentford beat Man City home and away for the first time since 1937/38.
