🗞️ Team News: Manchester United
Tyrell Malacia (Knee injury), Noussair Mazraoui (heart problems), Daniel Gore (Shoulder injury), Luke Shaw (Knee injury) and Leny Yoro (Ankle injury) are unavailable for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.
We think that The Red Devils could opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, utilising Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, V. Nilsson Lindeloef, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hoejlund.
📰 Team News: Brentford
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has to choose a team with limited availability. Mathias Jensen (Calf injury), Rico Henry (Muscle injury), Yoane Wissa (Ankle injury), Igor Thiago (Meniscus injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Aaron Hickey (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We reckon that The Bees seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Mark Flekken, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, K. Vassbakk Ajer, Vitaly Janelt, Christian Noergaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Mikkel Damsgaard, Keane Lewis-Potter and Kevin Schade.
⚡ Prediction
In this game, Brentford are certainly able to find the net against this Manchester United team, although that might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Manchester United when all is said and done. It really should be an interesting one.
