Manchester United Desperate for a Win as They Welcome Brentford to Old Trafford
6508

There are six fixtures to be played in the English Premier League on the 7th of October, including the meeting between Manchester United and Brentford.

The game will be played at Old Trafford and the hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 9 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 7 points.

Manchester United come into the match on the back of a hugely disappointing 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils opened the scoring in the 17th minute but did not hold on to the lead for long as the visitors equalised 6 minutes later.

Into the second half and Manchester United took the lead for second time in the 67th minute but during a 10 minute spell in which they had a player sent off, Manchester United conceded 2 goals.

The defeat to Galatasaray means Manchester United have lost each of their last 2 fixtures in all competitions.

They lost 1-0 at home against Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend and have won only 2 of their last 7 matches in all competitions.

Despite losing their 2 most recent home Premier League games, trends show Manchester United are unbeaten in 33 of their last 36 home matches in all competitions.

Manchester United have kept just a single clean sheet in their 6 most recent home league fixtures.

Brentford travel to Old Trafford having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last weekend.

With the score 0-0 at half time, it was Brentford who opened the scoring in the 58th minute but they did not lead for long as Nottingham Forest equalised 7 minutes later despite being down to ten men.

The draw at Nottingham Forest means Brentford have failed to win any of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions inside 90 minutes.

The Bees have not won any of their last 5 Premier League matches, suffering defeats at Newcastle United and at home to Everton.

There have been draws with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth at home plus Nottingham Forest away.

Trends show Brentford have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 5 away Premier League games.

Team news: Manchester United have several players on the treatment table, including Lisandro Martínez, Sergio Reguilón, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, and Tyrell Malacia.

Brentford have four players on the injury list with Kevin Schade, Ben Mee, Rico Henry, and Joshua Da Silva all unavailable.

There are also doubts over the fitness of Mikkel Damsgaard and Shandon Baptiste.

Both teams need a win to get their season back on track and they should each find the back of the net in this game. Despite recent losses, Manchester United still have a good record at Old Trafford and should edge past Brentford by a single goal to claim maximum points.
