Manchester United welcome Brentford to Old Trafford in Premier League action on October 7 with both sides struggling for form in recent weeks.

Erik ten Hag’s team have suffered successive Champions League defeats with a 3-2 midweek loss to Galatasaray the latest chapter in an inconsistent start to Ten Hag’s second season in Manchester.

They have also lost three on the spin at home in all competitions, including back-to-back league losses to Brighton & Hove Albion, and Crystal Palace last week.

They take on a Brentford side without a win in the Premier League since August. Thomas Frank’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Nottingham Forest in their last away match.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Man United vs Brentford lineups, team news

United are still missing key names in defence with Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia amongst the absentees for Ten Hag. With Raphael Varane also missing this game because of a “minor” issue, Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans start alongside one another at centre-back for the first time since they both played for Leicester City.

Jadon Sancho remains unavailable for selection, but Antony is on the bench after returning to the team against Galatasaray.

Man United lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): 24. Onana (GK) — 2. Lindelof, 5. Maguire, 35. Evans, 20. Dalot — 18. Casemiro, 4. Amrabat — 7. Mount, 8. Fernandes, 10. Rashford — 11. Hojlund

Frank is still without the suspended Ivan Toney until January, with key defender Rico Henry ruled for the season with a knee injury. Josh Dasilva, Ben Mee and Kevin Schade remain out, but Mads Roerslev starts. There was a late blow to the Bees when goalkeeper Mark Flekken and winger Keane Lewis-Potter were ruled out with illness and injury respectively.

Brentford lineup (3-5-2, right to left): 21. Strakosha (GK) — 3 20. Ajer, 5. Pinnock, 22. Collins — 30. Roerslev, 8. Jensen, 6. Norgaard, 27. Janelt, 2. Hickey —19. Mbeumo, 11. Wissa

Man United vs Brentford prediction, odds

United have won their two previous Premier League home games against Frank’s Brentford, but their poor run of results does not inspire major confidence, and Brentford have only lost once in three away league matches this season.
