Michael Carrick’s Man United are within two victories of securing their spot in next season’s Champions League. The Red Devils have been in reliable recent form, winning two of their last four, which includes a crucial 1-0 success over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Saturday.

Bruno Fernandes has been the standout player in the Premier League this term, with his 18th assist of the campaign coming last weekend to take him within two of the competition record. Harry Maguire’s return from suspension is crucial ahead of the trip of Brentford, with the Bees likely to present a physical threat from set pieces.

Team News:

Lisandro Martinez (Suspended), Patrick Dorgu (Thigh), Matthijs de Ligt (Back)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Lammens (GK); Dalot, Maguire, Yoro, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko

  • Overall Record: 13-9-11
  • Home Record: 7-7-3
  • Road Record: 6-2-8

Keith Andrews will be among the front-runners for the Manager of the Season award after guiding Brentford to a top-half finish despite the club being listed among the favorites for relegation. The Bees have continued their reliable form in recent weeks, playing out draws in each of their last five.

Their difficulty is beat is evident based on the fact that they haven’t trailed for a single minute in the Premier League in their last six fixtures. Igor Thiago has been their star man this season, with the Brazilian netting a stunning 21 EPL goals.

Team News:

Jordan Henderson (Knock), Rico Henry (Thigh), Vitaly Janelt (Knock)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Kelleher (GK); Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Yarmolyuk, Jensen; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago

Head-to-Head Trends

  • Man United have suffered defeats in their last two Premier League fixtures against Brentford.
  • The Bees will be looking to complete a first league double over the Red Devils since 1936-37 after a home win earlier in the campaign.

Man United vs. Brentford Prop Picks

Bruno Fernandes is within two of the Premier League record for assists. The Portuguese has been in excellent recent form, recording four assists in his last three appearances for club and country. Therefore, at +200, he is once again an outstanding play to add to his haul on Monday.

Man United vs. Brentford Picks

Manchester United have struggled on Mondays this season, losing against Leeds and Everton at Old Trafford. However, with the Champions League spot within touching distance, we fully expect the Red Devils to record successive wins to close in on a top-five place.
