Brentford are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest last week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have been in poor form this season. The Red Devils slumped to a damaging 3-2 defeat at the hands of Galatasaray in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
