Manchester United, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace will have left the Manchester United squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 77%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Crystal Palace, who had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Brentford, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Brentford. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Nottingham Forest who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Thomas Frank will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
The Brentford travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Bryan Mbeumo, who's scored 5 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Brentford suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United the last time they met in the league.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Old Trafford, The Bees have been unable to break through the Man Utd defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Man Utd has a good track record when they host Brentford, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Amad Diallo (Ankle), Harry Maguire (Hamstring), Kobbie Mainoo (Ankle), Tyrell Malacia (Unknown), Lisandro Martínez (Foot), Sergio Reguilón (Knock), Luke Shaw (Muscle), Donny van de Beek (Knock) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Frank has a number of injury concerns in his Brentford squad to contend with: Shandon Baptiste (Shoulder), Mikkel Damsgaard (Groin), Josh Dasilva (Hamstring), Rico Henry (Knee), Ben Mee (Calf) and Kevin Schade (Hip)
