This match has often been a banana skin for the visitors, but it is a new look Brentford as Man United make their latest trip down to the capital city this weekend in the Premier League.
Following a major overhaul over the summer which has included the appointment of rookie boss Keith Andrews, Brentford have started the season with one win in their opening five matches. The Bees had put in some half-decent performances early on but they are struggling for form now and gaps are beginning to appear.
Ruben Amorim and his Man United side earned a lot of criticism after the first month of the campaign but the Red Devils’ performance level wasn’t that bad. They earned a much-needed 2-1 defeat of a Chelsea side that had goalkeeper Robert Sanchez sent off very early on at Old Trafford last weekend.
The Sporting News brings you the latest tips and odds in a complete betting preview as the Bees welcome United to the Gtech Community Stadium in London. We've even got details of a huge new customer offer from Betfair - 50/1 odds for just a single goal scored.
Brentford vs. Man Utd: Who will win?
The last few years have seen Brentford put four past United on a couple of occasions at the Gtech but they have lost a lot of that squad as well as the manager.
The under pressure Amorim and his United side remain lacking in overall quality but their floor is surely going to get a lot better and that should be seen with the avoidance of defeat this week.
