On the other side of the pitch, Brentford arrives with a new face in charge. Their head coach, appointed in June 2025, has an intriguing journey through English football. He started his playing career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, then moved on to Hull City, Milton Keynes Dons, Oxford United, Stoke City, and Walsall. After hanging up his boots, he became assistant manager at MK Dons under Karl Robinson, later working with Stephen Kenny for the Republic of Ireland's Under-21 and senior teams. He joined Sheffield United's backroom staff in December 2023 before taking on the set piece coach role at Brentford—and now leads the Bees into this crucial clash.
City boss Pep Guardiola will preview the match in his pre-game press conference on Friday, May 8, at 12:30 (UK) from the City Football Academy. Expect insights on tactics, team news, and what it takes to overcome a resurgent Brentford side.
