-------------------------------------------------------------
Manchester United - WDDLDD
Tyrell Malacia (Knee injury), Noussair Mazraoui (heart problems), Daniel Gore (Shoulder injury), Luke Shaw (Knee injury) and Leny Yoro (Ankle injury) won’t be able to feature for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.
We are thinking that The Red Devils will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, V. Nilsson Lindeloef, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hoejlund.
Manchester United will play in this match coming off the back of a 0-0 Premier League draw vs Aston Villa.
In that match, Manchester United managed 46% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Aston Villa got 11 attempts at goal with 1 on target.
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United have scored 11 times over their past 6 outings. At the other end, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in those same games stands at 7.
Their previous form shows that Manchester United:
haven't been beaten in the league by Brentford in their last 3 games.
have not won at home in their last 2 league games.
Brentford - WLWLDW
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Mathias Jensen (Calf injury), Rico Henry (Muscle injury), Yoane Wissa (Ankle injury), Igor Thiago (Meniscus injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Aaron Hickey (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.
We reckon that The Bees could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Mark Flekken, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, K. Vassbakk Ajer, Vitaly Janelt, Christian Noergaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Mikkel Damsgaard, Keane Lewis-Potter and Kevin Schade.
Brentford come into this clash following a 5-3 Premier League win with the eclipse of Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last game.
In that match, Brentford had 44% possession and 19 shots on goal with 12 on target. For Brentford, the scorers were Nathan Collins (2'), Bryan Mbeumo (20'), Christian Nørgaard (28'), Ethan Pinnock (45') and Fábio Carvalho (90'). At the other end, Wolverhampton Wanderers had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target. Matheus Cunha (4'), Jorgen Strand Larsen (26') and Rayan Aït-Nouri (93') scored for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Over the course of their last half-dozen clashes, Brentford have amassed the sum of 14 goals. Brentford have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. Over that period, they’ve seen 11 goals scored by their opponents.
Going into this one, Brentford are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Evans; Eriksen, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock; Ajer, Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt, Lewis-Potter; Schade, Mbeumo
Manchester United vs Brentford Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*Manchester United have a good historical record against Brentford and have won 10 out of the 19 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Brentford's six victories.
*Manchester United have won each of their last five matches at home against Brentford in the top flight, with their previous such defeat at the hands of the Bees coming in February 1937.

*Manchester United have won only one of their last six matches in the Premier League and have failed to find the back of the net in their last three such games
Prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Brentford
While Brentford can travel to Old Trafford without any pressure on their shoulders, that cannot be said for Ten Hag who can ill-afford to see his Man United side produce another below-par performance on home soil, where they have lost their last two league games by a 3-0 scoreline. Both teams - who will not be at full strength on Saturday - have looked vulnerable in defence this season and goals are to be expected here, but it is difficult to confidently predict a winner on this occasion, so an entertaining score draw could be on the cards.
