Manchester United vs Brentford 05.04.2023 English Premier League

Match Overview

Manchester United will be hoping to overturn the disastrous showing they put up against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday and hope to get three points under their belt in their push for a top four spot in the Premier League table. Brentford are not far from their opponents in the league table, with a mere seven points separating them from each other. One false move might see the Red Devils scurrying for cover throughout the game.

Key Highlights

Brentford, managed by Thomas Frank, will be looking to become the giant killer when they travel to the north of the country on Wednesday. Striker Ivan Toney will be the player to watch out for them as he goes toe-to-toe with the Red Devils' centre-back Lisandro Martinez. For the home team, Marcus Rashford will hold all the cards in his chest.

Injury Report

While Donny van de Beek has been ruled out for the season, Christian Eriksen and Aaron Wan-Bissaka too are expected to miss out for the home team. Casemiro has two more matches to serve in his suspension. Vittary Janelt and Kristoffer Ajer are the two players who appear doubtful starters for Brentford here at Old Trafford.

Prediction

Brentford will be proud of the fact that they gave the Red Devils a real thrashing when these two teams met against each other earlier in the season in London. The Bees had won that game by a massive 4-0 scoreline. Since then, however, Manchester United have recovered incredibly well. With the home support on their side, it is a no-brainer that Manchester United will win this game rather comfortably.
