Manchester United vs Brentford: Premier League preview

Brentford's own dalliance with a Champions League place was illuminating but brief. When Keith Andrews' team faced Everton two weeks ago, it wasn't unreasonable to predict that a winner either way could challenge.

In the end, it was Brentford's fourth draw in a row. That sequence now stretches to five draws not out, leaving them seven points off fifth place with five matches to play. Regardless of this weekend's other results so far, the mathematics of all this speak for themselves.

Yet the Bees are still battling away in pursuit of history. Prior to Saturday's fixtures, Brentford were two points outside the top six and unbeaten since mid-February. Qualification for the Conference League or Europa League is not an unreasonable target by any means.

Today's visit to Old Trafford is a meaningful test of their mettle in that regard. Brentford won the last two meetings of these sides, both at the Gtech Community Stadium. They haven't won at Old Trafford since before the Second World War.

Walter Winterbottom played at half-back in the last United team to be beaten by Brentford on their own patch, for what it's worth.

Last season, United spent half time facing the prospect of the next Brentford win at Old Trafford but goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund turned the game in Erik ten Hag's favour. He was sacked nine days later.

Now under the interim guidance of Michael Carrick, Man United are on a positive run in the Premier League.

The sting of a home loss against Leeds United notwithstanding, the Red Devils are easing towards the Champions League by virtue of a run of two defeats in 16 league games.
