H2H - Red Devils Advantage


Man United have an 11-8 advantage against Brentford, alongside three draws.

Man United Challenging for the Top Five


Michael Carrick’s Man United are third in the Premier League and have an eight-point buffer inside the top five. 

The Red Devils have climbed into Champions League qualification contention after gaining 26 points from 12 games. United have also won five home matches during that spell and scored 14 goals.

Carrick’s side beat Aston Villa 3-1 at home before a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth and a 2-1 loss to Leeds.

United responded with a 1-0 victory against Chelsea away. Matheus Cunha scored the winner just before half time and United allowed no big chances.

Brentford Rarely Win in the EPL


Brentford are ninth in the Premier League table and have struggled to break into the European spots. The London side are winless in seven of their previous eight in all competitions.

The Bees have drawn six matches in a row, including five stalemates in the Premier League. Keith Andrews’ side returned from the international break by giving up the lead twice in a 2-2 home draw with Everton.

A goalless stalemate with West London rivals Fulham followed. Brentford had four shots on target and couldn’t net a winner. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Man United (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo; Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha; Benjamin Sesko

Winger Patrick Dorgu is unavailable due to a muscle problem. Defensive pair Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt are also ruled out due to injury.

Leny Yoro will face a late fitness test to feature ahead of the Brentford game. Michael Carrick was unsure of the defender’s fitness pre-match and said, “We are still working [on him], so there’s a possibility, but at this stage, we’re not 100 per cent sure.”

Brentford (4-2-3-1): Caoimhi Kelleher; Michael Kayode, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Keane Lewis-Potter; Yehor Yarmolyuk, Mathias Jensen; Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade; Igor Thiago

Attackers Kaye Furo and Fabio Carvalho and defenders Antoni Milambo, Josh Dasilva and Rico Henry are injured.

Midfield duo Vitaly Janelt and Jordan Henderson are also set to miss out through injury. 

Verdict

Man United can use their home advantage to gain three points and take a step towards Champions League qualification. Brentford are lacking a Premier League threat and the Red Devils can continue their good form at Old Trafford.
