Sports News Blitz previews Brentford vs Man United, with betting tips and stats.
The tale so far
Brentford’s tough start to the season continued with a 3-1 defeat away at West London rivals Fulham - a result that keeps Keith Andrews’ side uncomfortably close to the bottom three.
It was a frustrating afternoon for the Bees, particularly after a spirited performance in their previous match against Chelsea, where they pushed the visitors close despite falling short.
As the games stack up, Brentford are showing flashes of quality, but the points aren’t following.
A relegation battle is no longer just a distant possibility - it’s starting to look like a live concern.
Manchester United, meanwhile, enjoyed a significant morale boost in Gameweek five, beating Club World Cup holders Chelsea 2-1 at Old Trafford.
An early red card for Robert Sánchez handed United control, and goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro put them firmly in the driving seat.
This was until Casemiro’s own red card just before half-time made things nervier than they needed to be.
Trevor Chalobah pulled one back for the visitors, but United held firm to secure three vital points.
Head-to-head recap
While Manchester United have had the upper hand in recent meetings, Brentford reminded everyone of their threat in last season’s 4-3 thriller at the Gtech Community Stadium.
United had won four of the five previous clashes before that, albeit narrowly - with scorelines of 2-1, 1-0, and another 2-1 suggesting fine margins rather than dominance.
Brentford will take heart from their most recent victory and the fact they’ve scored in four of the last five meetings with the Red Devils.

Best bets for Brentford vs Manchester United
Bryan Mbeumo to have 1+ shot on target
Mbeumo remains United’s most reliable attacking outlet, playing 90 minutes in all but one league game so far.
The Cameroon international has registered a shot on target in four of his last five appearances and has looked sharp even in defeat.
Against a Brentford side still searching for defensive consistency, he’s well placed to test the keeper again.
Both teams to score
Brentford may be sitting 17th, but they’re far from toothless at home.
The Gtech has seen its share of goals, and United’s attacking power almost guarantees an open game.
Their last meeting here ended 4-3 to the hosts - a match full of attacking intent and defensive frailty on both sides.
Expect chances at both ends once again.
Brentford to have 3+ corners
The Bees earned five corners in their recent home game against Chelsea and are typically aggressive when playing in front of their fans.
With United still unpredictable in and out of possession, Brentford should earn plenty of territory - and opportunities from the corner flag.

The verdict
Manchester United may enter as favourites, but Brentford at home are rarely pushovers, especially with the Gtech crowd behind them.
Goals look likely, given both sides’ defensive inconsistencies and attacking strengths, and Bryan Mbeumo is a strong candidate to feature in the action.
United’s momentum from Gameweek five gives them an edge, but this fixture has all the ingredients to be much closer than the league table might suggest.
