Man City 0-0 Brentford LIVE: Maupay on for Bees with hosts showing frustration as they seek crucial opener

Follow all the action as Manchester City look to return to winning ways in their rearranged clash against Brentford, live on talkSPORT.

City were initially meant to face the Bees on December 23, but the match was postponed due to their participation in the Club World Cup.

Pep Guardiola's winning streak came to an end last time out following a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, so they will be looking to start another one.

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank's side are struggling for form and have won just two of their last ten league games.

However, those two wins have come since Ivan Toney returned from his ban, and the west Londoners are starting to look more dangerous.
