Both of these clubs are in the bottom half of the Premier League but could yet be playing European football next season. Brentford are 11th in the table and host Manchester United who are down in 14th, Can the Bees get a vital home win? Read our match prediction.
Thursday evening was important for both clubs. Brentford boosted their European hopes with an excellent 2-0 win away at Nottingham Forest. Eighth takes a side into Europe and ninth if Manchester City win the FA Cup. Thursday's win means the Bees are only two points behind both positions.
Manchester United had an excellent 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Thursday and surely not even they can miss out on the Europa League final. Their Premier League form is a pale shadow of their domestic achievements. How much does this game mean to them? The second leg of their Europa League semi-final is next Thursday, so will they rest key players for this weekend despite the big 3-0 lead?

Brentford - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Brentford are unbeaten in their last four league games. The 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest was their second successive league victory after previously beating Brighton and Hove Albion 4-2 in their last home league fixture.
The Bees have won eight of their 17 home league games this season. They earned 22 points from their first eight league fixtures but then their form slipped. The win over Brighton ended a run of eight home league games without a victory.
Brentford could have achieved so much more this season but for that poor home run and terrible away results in the first part of the season.
United continue to struggle in the Premier League.
Manchester United still have a chance of playing in next season's Champions League. Thursday saw them win 3-0 at Athletic Bilbao and a place in the final looks extremely likely. In the Premier League though, the Reds have only 39 points from 34 games, ten fewer than Brentford.
United have gone five league games without a win. Their most recent league fixture saw them score a late goal to earn a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.

Brentford & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Brentford have injury doubts over Yunus Konak and Aaron Hickey. Both are expected to be fit to play in this home game against Manchester United if selected. The Bees will be chasing another league win and boost their chances of playing in European football next season.
Their home form isn't quite at the level it was in the early months of this season. They put four past Brighton in their last home league fixture though and some of their key players are back in form for them.
More goals on the way for Wissa and Mbeumo?
Wissa and Mbeumo scored three of their goals in the 4-2 win over Brighton. They have 35 goals between them this season and a few more could see the Bees qualify for European football.
What do Manchester United do when selecting their team for this match? They have one foot in the Europa League final and will not want to see any key players miss the second leg. There's nothing to play for in the Premier League so some fringe players may well get a run out this weekend.
