Latest team news for Brentford vs MU
Brentford's Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma are both recovering well from hamstring injuries and will be assessed for fitness before kick-off. However, their inclusion in the matchday squad remains uncertain.
Aware that Amorim's Man United would continue to use a three-centre-back formation, manager Andrews considered either keeping the 3-5-2 formation or switching to a four-man defense.
Jordan Henderson has impressed in recent weeks and could partner 21-year-old Yehor Yarmolyuk in midfield. Kevin Schade – who scored a brace in last season's 4-3 win against Man United – is likely to continue starting in attack alongside Igor Thiago.
On Manchester United's side, Casemiro will be suspended for one match after receiving a red card in the game against Chelsea, while Lisandro Martinez is still recovering from a long-term knee injury he sustained in February.
Diogo Dalot will be checked before kick-off after missing the last two matches due to a muscle injury. If he is unable to return in time, Noussair Mazraoui or Amad Diallo will be the options for the right-back position.
Amorim is considering giving goalkeeper Senne Lammens his Premier League debut, but he will most likely continue to trust Altay Bayindir. In defense, Leny Yoro hopes to start in place of Harry Maguire.
With Casemiro absent, Manuel Ugarte is the leading candidate to partner captain Bruno Fernandes in midfield. Up front, Matheus Cunha is striving for a starting spot alongside Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo – who will face his former club for the first time since his £71 million move to Old Trafford last summer.

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs MU
Following a summer of significant changes at Brentford, new manager Keith Andrews has only managed to secure 4 points from his first 6 Premier League games and suffered a third defeat against fellow West London rivals Fulham last weekend.
Mikkel Damsgaard marked his return to the starting lineup with the opening goal in the first half, but Fulham came back to win 3-1 at home, a result that leaves Brentford just one point above the relegation zone.
Brentford have conceded 10 goals in 5 Premier League games this season, their worst run at this stage since the 2003-04 season in the Third Division (also 10 goals). Only newly promoted Burnley (95) have faced more shots than Brentford (70) so far.
Andrews' team also struggled to maintain their lead, dropping eight points despite scoring the opening goal. They scored first in four games but only won one (one draw, two losses). In Premier League history, only Newcastle in the 1999-00 season (11 points) and Fulham in the 2007-08 season (9 points) have ever dropped more points from a lead after the first five games of the season.
Difficult challenges lie ahead against Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle, but Brentford can have reason to be optimistic about their Saturday home match against Man United. They have won two of their last three home games against the Red Devils (one draw), and have lost only one of their last six matches at Gtech (three wins, two draws).
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim was temporarily relieved of pressure after his team capitalized on goalkeeper Robert Sanchez's fifth-minute red card to secure a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in heavy rain at Old Trafford last weekend.
This victory was "necessary" after Man United endured their worst Premier League start since the 1992-93 season, with only 4 points from 4 games. Despite the negative atmosphere still hanging over the Red Devils, the 20-time champions are now level on points with Man City and ahead of Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Aston Villa – teams that qualified for European competition last season.
After 5 Premier League matches, Man United is the team with the most shots (81) – while Brentford is the team with the fewest (41). The Red Devils average 16.2 shots per game, higher than the 13.9 of last season under Amorim. Expected goals (xG) also increased from 1.33 to 2.03.
Scoring against Brentford shouldn't be a problem for Man United, as they've found the net in 11 of their last 13 encounters across all competitions. However, the Red Devils travel to Gtech with a run of seven consecutive winless away games in the Premier League (two draws, five defeats). Their last worse run was between March and October 2019 (eight games).
Manchester United have lost 15 of their last 24 away games in London and suffered a 3-4 defeat on their last visit to Brentford in May. Amorim's side risk losing two consecutive games to Brentford for the third time in history, following previous defeats in the Second Division in December 1934 and the First Division in February 1937.
