Top four hopefuls Manchester United will be looking to strengthen their grip within the Champions League qualification spots as they prepare to play against hard-working Brighton in a Premier League clash.
Form Guide
Man United are fourth in the league with 15 wins after 27 games. They have won 15 games to date but will be looking to return to winning ways having picked up just one point from their last three league games. They are also under pressure as they lost their last top-flight encounter 2-0 against Newcastle and lead fifth place Tottenham by just one point. Erik Ten Hag’s men have also not scored a goal in their last three league games, conceding nine in that time. They will be looking to remedy this as soon as possible.
Brentford have surprised many this season with their positive brand of football. They are not only virtually assured of Premier League football for next season but also have a chance of qualifying for Europe. They are seventh with 10 wins and 43 points and six points behind fifth place Spurs.
The Bees have lost just one out of their last five league games.
Head To Head
The teams last met in August with Brentford recording a memorable 4-0 win. Despite that, United have dominated encounters between the two sides with the Red Devils winning three out of their last four games between the teams.
Latest Man United results
The Red Devils lost their last game 2-0 against Newcastle. They are without a win in three top-flight encounters and have not scored in that time, having conceded nine times over that period. United have also not scored in their last three league games. They will be hoping that the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford can help them to remedy this issue as soon as possible.
Latest Brentford results
Despite their limited resources, the Bees are a solid Premier League side and perhaps one of the most difficult teams in the division to play against and beat. They have drawn their last two games (against Brighton and Leicester) but have only lost one top-flight game since the start of the year (against Everton).
Prediction
The game will end in a 1-1 draw. Both teams will have few opportunities and the ball will be locked in midfield.
Both teams to score-yes- Playabets have this at 1.75.
