THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- Man Utd were once again indebted to Cristiano Ronaldo in midweek, the Portuguese superstar equalising against Chelsea and salvaging a draw for the Red Devils in a match they deserved very little from.
- Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw will definitely miss out and Jadon Sancho (Illness) is highly unlikely to feature, while the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Magure and Fred are doubts.
BRENTFORD
- An in-from Brentford will be sensing a real scalp here against an out-of-form Man Utd and were a lick of paint away from beating local rivals Tottenham last weekend after hitting the post late on.
- The Bees have a number of key absentees for this match although Kristoffer Ajer and Christian Norgaard should be fine after missing the clash with Spurs.

THE PREDICTION
The mere presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has racked up eight of Man Utd last nine goals scored in the Premier League gives the Red Devils a strong chance of success in this match. However, the hosts are without a clean sheet in their most recent nine fixtures in all competitions, which bodes well for a Brentford side with ten points across their last four league matches. Despite home advantage being in United’s favour, their terrible recent form makes the outcome of this one difficult to call. With that in mind, back both teams to score.
Tip: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
