Brentford welcome Manchester United at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday where they will look to go 5-match unbeaten.
But after Thursday’s 2-0 win at Forest for Thomas Frank’s side, anything less than a win wouldn’t mean much towards their European dream. Just two points adrift off the eighth-place, the Bees will know how important home form is going to be against the Red Devils.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are experiencing two extremes in a season. The European high and the English low. They hammered 10-man Athletic Bilbao 3-0 midweek to put one foot in the Europa League final, but domestically, they have been woeful. Just can’t seem to find a dub. They haven’t won a Premier League game since mid-March and sit just three points above the drop zone.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
