However, back-to-back league wins under Ruben Amorim has proven to be an impossible task for the Red Devils since the managerial change almost a year ago and they are yet to record an away victory in any competition so far this season.
Just three points separates the two clubs heading into the weekend, though the incentive for Man United is a win will move them level on points with Arsenal and Tottenham – albeit for a few hours at least.

Brentford vs Manchester United team news
The home side are hopeful of having Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Nunes available for selection after injury.
That said, no fresh fitness concerns were reported after the loss to Fulham, meaning Brentford should be well rested after having a full week to prepare for the visit of United.
It remains to be seen if the full-back will earn an immediate recall to the matchday squad, but there are doubts over Noussair Mazraoui as he was not spotted in the aforementioned session.
Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount are pushing for starts after returning as substitutes in the win over Chelsea, while Bryan Mbeumo is expected to feature against his former club and Casemiro is suspended.
Lisandro Martinez is making good progress following knee surgery earlier in the year, but the Argentine is not expected to be available for action for at least another month or so.

Brentford vs Manchester United prediction
Man United impressed in patches against Chelsea but these are the types of fixtures they tend to struggle in. Amorim will be looking to build on last weekend’s win over the Blues, though there’s little reason to have much confidence in the Red Devils for this one.
All of Brentford’s points this season have come at home and we are expecting a share of the spoils this weekend.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Both sides traded home wins last season with Brentford taking a 4-1 lead in the corresponding fixture before holding off a late Man United comeback to win 4-3.
