Brentford arrive with a different kind of momentum. The visitors are unbeaten in recent matches but have struggled to convert draws into wins. Their run of consecutive stalemates has slowed their push for a European spot. Still, they remain dangerous going forward and have scored consistently in recent games.<\/p>\n

The match is expected to produce goals at both ends.\u00a0Bruno Fernandes<\/span><\/span>\u00a0continues to be the key player for United and is closing in on a historic assist record. Brentford will rely on\u00a0Igor Thiago<\/span><\/span>, who has been their main attacking threat this season. United are favourites at home, and predictions suggest a 3-1 win for the hosts.<\/p>\n

Team news suggests United will welcome back key defenders, while Brentford are likely to keep a settled lineup. Both managers are expected to stick with attacking setups, which should make this an open contest under the lights.<\/p>\n

Predicted lineups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United (4-2-3-1):<\/strong>
Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo<\/p>\n

Brentford (4-2-3-1):<\/strong>
