"Ruben Amorim is looking to do something he has never done before in the Premier League. After Manchester United's 2-1 win over Chelsea last weekend, Amorim could lead his side to back-to-back league victories for the first time in his tenure. The pressure on his position eased slightly with that victory, but United's recent torrid away form could cause more trouble in West London."
"And if they want to change both of those things, they will need to overcome a Brentford side who are in need of a win, having gone without in each of their last three league outings. The Bees have endured a stuttering start to life under Keith Andrews, winning just one of their five top-flight matches so far, a 1-0 home win over Aston Villa in August."
"Over recent years, it has been the home side who have enjoyed more joy in this fixture. In fact, since United won 3-1 away at Brentford in January 2022, the team playing at home has won six of the seven Premier League meetings between the sides (D1). The Bees have won two of their last three home league games against United (D1), as many as their first six such matches versus the Red Devils beforehand (W2 D1 L3)."
Ruben Amorim could achieve back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time after Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Chelsea, easing pressure on his tenure. United's recent poor away form creates concern ahead of the trip to Brentford. Brentford have gone three league matches without a win and have won only one of five top-flight games under Keith Andrews, a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in August. Recent history favors the home side in this fixture, with home teams winning six of seven meetings since January 2022. Opta gives Brentford a 48% chance to win, United 26%, and draw 26%.
