Gameweek 6 brings a lunchtime clash at the Gtech Community Stadium as Brentford host a Manchester United side trying to build momentum. The Portuguese coach is now aiming to oversee back-to-back Premier League wins for the very first time, and his side benefited from having a free midweek after their humiliating Carabao Cup elimination at the hands of Grimsby Town.<\/p>\n
Brentford progress in cup competition is intact; they are into the fourth round after wins over Bournemouth and Aston Villa. In the league, Keith Andrews has overseen mixed results, with his side winning once in five Premier League outings and suffering a 3\u20131 defeat by west London rivals Fulham last time out. Supporters still recall Brentford\u2019s 4\u20130 victory over Erik ten Hag\u2019s Red Devils in 2022 with fondness.<\/p>\n
Tactically, Andrews has varied between a back three and a back four early in his tenure. Overloading midfield will be central to Brentford\u2019s approach; they could deploy a 3-5-2 or a 4-2-3-1. Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Gomes are nearing returns from injury and represent options off the bench.<\/p>\n
Kevin Schade, who scored twice in this fixture last season, could pair with Igor Thiago up front. Mikkel Damsgaard is expected to operate as the link between defence and attack, while Jordan Henderson anchors the engine room after a strong showing in the 2\u20132 draw with Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Brentford predicted lineup vs. Man Utd (3-5-2): Kelleher; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock; Kayode, Henderson, Damsgaard, Yarmoliuk, Lewis-Potter; Schade, Thiago.<\/p>\n
Man Utd have seen Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount return from injury and Diogo Dalot has come back into training. With Noussair Mazraoui and Amad Diallo out this weekend, Dalot could slot straight back into the XI. Casemiro will serve a one-game ban after receiving two bookings and Lisandro Mart\u00ednez is edging closer to a comeback. Manuel Ugarte is the most likely candidate to replace Casemiro.<\/p>\n
Man Utd predicted lineup vs. Brentford (3-4-2-1): Bay\u0131nd\u0131r; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; \u0160e\u0161ko.<\/p>\n
United are seeking a first sequence of successive league wins under Amorim. The visitors possess attacking quality but Brentford will look to use midfield superiority and home form to disrupt them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
