Brentford vs Manchester United Odds
Brentford Team News
Brentford found themselves on the wrong end of another red card decision at the start of the match against Burnley, where Sergio Reguilon was shown a red card just nine minutes in. His dismissal, which will also rule him out of facing his former club this weekend, meant that fate was almost immediately sealed for Thomas Frank’s side, and despite the determined efforts of their ten men on the field, Jacob Bruun Larsen and David Datro Fofana made sure that Kristoffer Ajer’s goal would not matter. While the Clarets significantly boosted their slim survival hopes at Turf Moor, Brentford slumped to their fifth defeat in as many games, remaining in 15th place on the table, just five points ahead of the recently penalized Nottingham Forest in 18th place, with nine games left to go.
Although Brentford fans may point to their unfortunate injury list, Frank’s men are now just a shadow of their former Premier League selves. They have now suffered defeat a staggering 17 times in the current top-flight season, with only Burnley and Sheffield United faring worse in that regard with 20 losses each. With a depleted defensive line, Brentford have conceded multiple goals in each of their last four games and have only managed to secure one point in their last three home matches.
Due to his sending-off at Turf Moor, Reguilon, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Manchester United, must serve a one-match suspension this weekend, with Keane Lewis-Potter expected to replace him. Reguilon joins Kevin Schade, Ben Mee, Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, and Aaron Hickey as confirmed absentees for the hosts, while the availability of Christian Norgaard and Ethan Pinnock remains uncertain. On a rare positive note, Bryan Mbeumo made his first appearance since December during the defeat to Burnley, earning 11 minutes as a substitute following a serious ankle injury, and the Cameroonian should now be in contention for a return to the starting XI thanks to the two-week break.
Manchester United Team News
Eric ten Hag’s team benefited from Everton’s profligacy in a 2-0 victory over the Toffees in their last Premier League fixture, keeping them in sixth place in the table with a nine-point gap to make up to Aston Villa, who have played more games. A second consecutive victory over a Merseyside team came just eight days later, albeit in a much more thrilling style, when Amad Diallo’s goal in extra time saw Manchester United triumph in a spectacular match against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, setting up a semi-final date against Coventry.
Last year’s painful 4-0 defeat to Brentford in the capital was an early blot on Ten Hag’s notebook, but the Red Devils have exacted revenge with two victories at Old Trafford over the Bees since then, winning 2-1 in October thanks to Scott McTominay’s heroic stoppage-time efforts.
Speaking of suspended wingers, FA Cup hero Diallo got a bit carried away during the raucous celebrations after his goal, taking his shirt off while already on a yellow card, meaning he also has to serve a one-match suspension. The Ivorian would have been on the bench anyway, but three regular starters, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martinez, are uncertain at this point, as are Altay Bayindir and Jonny Evans. However, Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, and Tyrell Malacia are still out of contention, and the possible absence of Casemiro could see McTominay return to the midfield with Kobbie Mainoo, who excelled on his senior England debut earlier this month.

Brentford vs Manchester United Prediction
Despite their concerning position, Brentford is seldom defeated on their home turf, and a fully fit attacking lineup featuring Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, and Yoane Wissa should pose several questions to the injury-hit defense of the Red Devils. However, Frank is working with severely limited options in the backline, so we can only assume that Ten Hag’s troops will continue where they left off before the international break with another victory.
