Football Predictions
Manchester United are in a dwindling state and can’t afford another slip when Brentford visits Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Having been participating in almost every competition this season and with a chunk of injuries, fatigue has caught up with the Erik ten Hag side, and might find themselves in fifth position when they take on Brentford should Tottenham beat Everton on Monday night.
Thomas Frank has done a decent job with Brentford and are currently placed seventh on the log and just six points below the Europa League spot. They’ve been scoring easily in games and while the hosts are the favorites heading into the game, they are likely to give United some trouble more so going forward.
H2H / Stats
Man United will be seeking revenge against the Bees after their shocking 4-0 loss in the reverse fixture in what was a wake-up call to Erik ten Hag in his first days at the club.
Previous meetings:
13/8/22: Brentford 4-0 Man United
2/5/22: Man United 3-0 Brentford
19/1/22: Brentford 1-3 Man United
28/7/21: Man United 2-2 Brentford
Team News
Manchester United are likely to hand Anthony Martial a start with the Frenchman making his long-awaited return in their loss to Newcastle United on Sunday. While Casemiro will be serving the third of his four-game ban. The likes of Van de Beek, Christian Eriksen, Garnacho, and Tom Heaton are still out.
Brentford will still be without defender Kristoffer Ajer who picked an injury before the international break with Keane Lewis-Potter likely to miss the remainder of the season.
Probable Line Ups
Man Utd: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Sabitzer, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst.
Brentford: Raya; Roerslev, Mee, Pinnock, Henry; Jensen, Norgaard, Damsgaard; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa.
Verdict
While United has been struggling away from home, their impeccable home outing is something that can’t be taken for granted. Erik ten Hag would want a reaction from his charges after their loss to Newcastle on Sunday and is likely to rotate players going by their previous record against the Wednesday visitors, they are likely to emerge as the winners even though Brentford should cause them some trouble.

Anytime goal scorers
Marcus Rashford
The Englishman has scored 14 goals this season with 11 of them coming at Old Trafford. While he has had a niggling injury that ruled him out of England duty last week, he is still a threat for any opposition and Brentford will have to be wary of him.
Ivan Toney
Toney’s brilliant season saw him called up to the England squad last week and having netted 17 goals this season with 9 coming away from home, United will have to conjure a plan to keep him silent in the game.
Prediction – United win
