Manchester City are set to rebrand the Etihad Stadium for their latest Premier League clash.
Pep Guardiola's side will welcome Brentford on 9 May as they aim to make up lost ground in the title race after their deficit to leaders Arsenal increased to five points.
Manchester City will rebrand Etihad Stadium
Ahead of the Bees' visit, City have announced they will temporarily rebrand their home as 'The City in the Community Etihad Stadium' in recognition of their official charity.
Branding around the stadium is set to be updated to reflect the name change alongside other initiatives as part of their 35th Premier League match of the season.
City's players will walk out in jackets bearing the charity's branding while Ruben Dias has recorded travel announcements for buses and trams on the match day routes.
Player graphics on the club's official social media feeds used during the game have also been drawn by local schoolchildren as part of the latest Community Matchday.
“Community Matchday is a moment in the season where everyone connected to Manchester City comes together to celebrate the impact of City in the Community," said Mike Geary, the charity's CEO
"From supporters in the stands to staff, partners and participants, it’s a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when a football club and its community unite behind a shared purpose.
“We are incredibly grateful to the men’s squad for their continued generosity and commitment to our charity. To receive this donation for the second year running means a great deal to everyone at City in the Community, and more importantly, to the young people it will support.”
City will aim to bounce back against Brentford after a breathless 3-3 draw with Everton saw them ebb further away from Arsenal, who have currently played a game more.
Guardiola's players then face another home encounter with Crystal Palace on 13 May before they head to Wembley in hopes of claiming an eighth FA Cup against Chelsea.
The Blues travel to Bournemouth three days later on 19 May before entertaining Aston Villa, who were also their final-day opponents when they won the title in 2022.
