"Should be able": Paul Merson states his prediction for Manchester City v Brentford

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Manchester City and Brentford. The Premier League leaders are set to face the Bees, who are currently sitting in 14th place in the competition table. Pep Guardiola's side are doing quite well and have all chances to lift the domestic trophy once again. Merson believes that this game is going to be a successful one for the Citizens as he backs them to beat the rivals with a score of 5 - 0. "What scoreline do you want? We can make this up as we go along now. I’ll go with 5-0," the pundit said (via Sportskeeda). "Brentford won’t see anything of value in this game, and they need to start boxing clever. They could run around and work their socks off, only to lose comprehensively. If I were Brentford, I’d write this game off. They’re reeling off defeat after defeat at the moment, and could suffer five Premier League defeats on the trot if they lose this week. "Brentford need to pick their battles. They’re playing Crystal Palace this weekend, and that’s a must-win game for them. Manchester City are clearly the better team and should be able to win this game comfortably."
