Brentford will face Manchester United in the late game on Saturday evening (8.00pm kick off) with Thomas Frank's Bees in desperate need of some better form to ensure they avoid being dragged into the relegation battle. A dismal run of just three wins and a draw in their last 18 games has seen Brentford drop down the table markedly and they are now on the fringes of the relegation battle. The Bees are still playing some good football at times, but defensively they are letting in far too many goals, which is putting them under huge pressure in attack. Brentford games have tended to see plenty of goals of late too - both teams have scored in five of their six games and with Manchester United heading into London this weekend, the likelihood is that this is another game that should see goals at both ends.

Manchester United's form of late has been improved, albeit still pockmarked with disappointing results here and there. Away from home, three wins in their last four is a solid showing, especially considering the only defeat was away to Manchester City. United headed into the international break with the huge boost of an FA Cup Quarterfinal victory over Liverpool in a dramatic 4-3 encounter at Old Trafford, which will certainly put them in good spirits ahead of this game. United's goalscoring has improved late. In their last nine games they have scored 20 goals, conceding 13. They have shown enough in their last five or six away games to make them the clear favorites to win this game on Saturday night.
