Brentford welcomes Manchester United to the Brentford Community Stadium for this Matchday 22 encounter. The hosts are in 14th position with 23 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 32 points. Brentford suffered a 3-0 loss away to Liverpool in their last match which means they have lost four of their last five league matches with the one win coming against Aston Villa. Their home form has been better with them winning three of their last four matches. This will be the first meeting between these sides in top flight football since 1947. The last time these sides met was in 1975 in a League Cup match which United won 2-1. Brentford have tended to be an all or nothing team as they have not had a drawn match in their last eight matches with three wins and five losses.

Manchester will be disappointed with their 2-2 draw in the last match having had a two goal with 13 minutes to play. This result saw them lose ground on the teams in the European qualification places. They now find themselves in seventh position, two points behind 5th placed Arsenal and five points behind 4th placed West Ham. They do however have two games in hand over West Ham. United are unbeaten in their last four away matches with three draws and a win. They have not had the best record against newly promoted teams and have lost seven of the last 22 matches. Prior to this they only lost seven times in 66 matches against newly promoted teams.
