Third placed Manchester United aim to boost their Champions League qualification chances on Monday. The Red Devils are home to ninth-placed Brentford who have their own European aspirations. Read our match prediction below.
Manchester United will be delighted at their current position in the Premier League table. They have improved since Michael Carrick took over as head coach and he has a good chance of keeping the job full-time. The Reds are eight points clear of sixth place so a top-five finish and entry into next season's UCL is looking increasingly likely. An 11th home league win of the season will definitely help them achieve their aims.
Brentford only trail seventh position by a single point. The Bees will be hoping Manchester City win the FA Cup as that would make eighth place good enough. They have drawn each of their five league games and really need to start winning games at this stage of the season.

Manchester United - Brentford: Form Analysis
Manchester United are looking like returning to the Champions League next season. They totally missed out on European football this term but the Red Devils begin this Premier League game against Brentford in third place with five games to play.
Last weekend saw them win 1-0 at Chelsea but that is their only win in the last three league games they have played. Their last home game saw them beaten 2-1 by Leeds United, only their third home league defeat of the season with ten wins.
The loss to Leeds ended a run of five successive home league victories. Four of their last five at home have seen both teams score. They lost the reverse fixture to Brentford 3-1 in September. Both sides have scored in each of their last five meetings.
Brentford must start winning again.
Brentford are the draw kings at present. They have drawn their last five league games and were also level after 90 minutes in their penalty shootout loss to West Ham United in the FA Cup. Their last league game saw them held to a goalless draw at home by Fulham.
It's so tight in the battle for European qualification so those draws may well prove costly in a few weeks time. On the road, Brentford have blown hot and cold with six wins but eight defeats. Four of their last seven games have seen both teams get on the scoresheet..

Manchester United & Brentford Squad Analysis
There is good and bad news on the suspension front for Manchester United. Lisandro Martinez is still banned but Harry Maguire has completed his suspension and is available again for suspension.
Will they play Sesko?
United have an injury doubt over Matthijs de Ligt who is struggling with his back at present. Leny Yoro didn't play against Chelsea and could well be absent again on Monday. Who will they play up front? Benjamin Sesko has had a difficult first season with United and wasn't impressive against Chelsea.
The home side are closing in on European qualification but still have a little bit of work to do. With fifth-placed Liverpool being hosted in their next home game, these two matches at Old Trafford this week are vital for the Red Devils.
Brentford will be doing all they can to keep out former player Bryan Mbeumo. The Bees have done well this season despite losing him and Wissa in the summer and could yet secure a first ever season in European football.
They are likely to be missing both Vitaly Janelt for this trip to Old Trafford. Brentford will want to maintain their good recent record against United with only one loss in their last four games against the Manchester club.

Our Manchester United vs Brentford Prediction
Both of these clubs would like to have been winning more games in recent weeks. Manchester United have made big strides forward this year but have only won one of their last three games and lost their last home fixture. All but one of their last six games have seen both teams score.
Brentford have drawn five consecutive league games and that may well see them miss out on European qualification unless they resume winning ways. Looking at the statistics, our main Manchester United v Brentford prediction is BTTS.
