Brentford welcome Manchester United to London in a high-stakes fixture for both sides: the hosts looking to end their three-game winless run in the top flight, while Ruben Amorim’s side are still hunting for their first back-to-back Premier League wins under the Portuguese.
Keith Andrews’ Bees are 17th in the league, only one point clear of relegation after a tricky start to the season, but can look to their recent history against Man United for inspiration: a dramatic 4-3 victory last season and a 4-0 hammering in 2022-23.
The Red Devils meanwhile are fresh from a 2-1 win over Chelsea - one of their best since Amorim took over in November - and bidding to put an end to their poor run against fellow mid-table sides.
Here’s everything you need to know.
