In the 2022/23 season, Pep Guardiola’s side were the dominant force in the Premier League going on to win their battle with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal with the Cityzens finding themselves at the summit of the Premier League table at the end of the season with a 5 point gap separating themselves and the Gunners. City won 28 of their 38 matches on their way to accumulating a total of 89 points in their successful title bid.

Pep Guardiola was named as City Head Coach on 1^st February 2016, succeeding Manuel Pellegrini. The ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has since carried on his habit of winning trophies during his tenure at Manchester City. To date he has won the following whilst in charge of the Cityzens: 5 Premier League titles (2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22 & 2022/23), 2 FA Cups (2018/19 & 2022/23), 4 EFL Cups (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 & 2020/21) and 2 Community Shields (2018 & 2019).

Arguably the crowning glory of Pep’s time with City was winning the club’s maiden UEFA Champions League in June 2023, beating Italian giants Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul thanks to a fantastic finish from Rodri in the second half (68’). This win sealed a historic treble for Guardiola’s side.

Finally, in the 2020/21 season, Brentford finally secured their place in the Premier League following a 2-0 win against Swansea City at Wembley. In their first season back in the top flight (2021/22), Frank’s Bees managed to finish 13^th, and a comfortable 11 points ahead of the bottom three.
