How to watch Brentford vs Man City in US and UK TV channel, live ...
Manchester City is presumably out of the Premier League title race by now, 12 points back from Liverpool having played a game more. But it is enjoying a mini-resurgence, one it will look to continue this evening against Brentford.
Those of a Liverpool or neutral persausion may well be watching and hoping that Pep Guardiola, for so long the dominant force in the Premier League, might face the ignominy of missing out on the Champions League spots come the end of the campaign. As for Manchester City fans, they might be looking at the patchy form of those above them (Arne Slot's side notwithstanding, for the most part) and wondering how far a good run in the second half of the season could take them.
Meanwhile, Brentford has ambitions of its own. It faced an embarrassing FA Cup elimination at the hands of Plymouth, who will now face Liverpool in the fourth round, but could move to within four points of Man City with a win.
Those FA Cup fixtures have set up a bumper midweek round of Premier League action, with viewers able to flip between plenty of matches — even avoiding the 15-minute wait at half-time, with a bit of channel-hopping. Here's how those in the US and UK can tune in to watch Brentford vs Manchester City, with TV and live stream details.
What time is kick-off?
The match kicks off at 7:30pm in the UK, which is 11:30am Pacific Time and 2:30pm Eastern Time. It is set to be played at the GTech Community Stadium, which has been home to a huge amount of goals so far this season.
With Liverpool kicking off at 8:00pm local time, fans of the Reds can watch half an hour of Man City before turning over to watch Slot's side in action. They can also tune in for some of the second half at around 8:45, during the half-time interval of the match against Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City came from behind to win the reverse fixture 2-1. A brace from Erling Haaland secured the points in September.

Early team news
Manchester City's injury woes this season are well-documented. Many observers have attributed the bulk of their struggles to the long-term absence of Rodri, who remains sidelined for the foreseeable future.
It was assumed in some quarters that one-time Liverpool target Martin Zubimendi would be pursued in January as a replacement. But it seems Arsenal is now close to finalizing a transfer for the Spaniard.
Meanwhile, Oscar Bobb, Ruben Dias and John Stones are all out as well. But Thomas Frank actually has it worse on the injury front.
Brentford is missing Josh Dasilva, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, Gustavo Nunes and Ryan Trevitt. The defensive absences mean former Liverpool player Sepp van den Berg continues to be afforded chances following his summer transfer switch.
