Premier League – Season Continues – Manchester United v Brentford on Match-day 35

This Monday sees Man U go head to head with Brentford at Old Trafford – Kick-off 8:00pm GMT.

It’s a clash of sixth vs fourteenth, as Man U host Brentford at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have so far accrued 55 points in this season of the Premier League

Man U come to this fixture on the back of a 1-1 home draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Also, Ralf Rangnick knows that a run of three losses in five matches for his Man U side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. With a sixth position in the league and 16 wins, 10 losses and 10 draws, they currently have 55 points in the League having won 16 meetings, drawn 10 matches, and lost 10 meetings.

When Man U host Brentford, they will do so on the back of nine victories, five darts, and four losses on their own ground.

A win in this fixture, would take Manchester United’s points from 55 to 58, so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance

This has been a good season so far for Man U, in terms of goals scored (57). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Cristiano Ronaldo (10), Bruno Fernandes (5), and Harry Maguire (2). Man U have conceded 52 goals.

Ralf Rangnick could be missing up to six of their players through injury or illness for the game on Monday.

Brentford’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 40 points this season

Losing away to Watford 1-2, which followed them drawing home to Tottenham Hotspur 0-0, this is a worrying run of form for Brentford Manager Thomas Frank, who goes into this fixture, knowing that only a positive result will be good enough.

Also, Brentford need to get out of the losing habit, with 10 recorded in the last 18 meetings. They currently stand fourteenth in the League, with 40 points for a total of 11 wins, 17 losses and 7 draws having won 11 meetings, drawn seven matches, and lost 17 fixtures.

Brentford’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Man U. In the 17 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won five games, drawn four meetings, and lost eight matches.

Brentford will have secured 43 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Injury and illness have depleted Thomas Frank’s Brentford and they will likely be missing five key personnel for Monday’s match.
