The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with Ruben Amorim's Manchester United side in an important encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Brentford vs Manchester United Preview
Manchester United are currently in 11th place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Red Devils edged Chelsea to a narrow 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled to make an impact this season. The home side slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Brentford vs Manchester United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Manchester United have a good historical record against Brentford and have won 11 out of the 21 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Brentford's seven victories.
- Brentford have won two of their last three matches at home against Manchester United in the Premier League - as many victories as they had achieved in the six such games preceding this run.
- Manchester United lost their previous game against Brentford by a 4-3 margin in May this year and could lose consecutive league games against them for only the third time in their history and for the first time since 1937.

Brentford vs Manchester United Prediction
Manchester United have a formidable squad at their disposal but are yet to hit their stride under Ruben Amorim this season. The Red Devils proved their mettle in a hard-fought clash against Chelsea last week and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Brentford can pull off an upset on their day and have a good recent record in this fixture. Manchester United are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Manchester United
