Brentford is looking to finish the Premier League double over Man U for the first time in 89 years, but the visitors enter having drawn in six straight matches in all competitions. Man U was stunned in its last home game on April 13 but hasn't lost consecutive home games all season. Top defender Harry Maguire is back from suspension. Wish DNB was reasonably priced but it's not.
Man United remain third in the Premier League table after beating Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge last weekend. They've picked up eight wins from 11 games since captain Bruno Fernandes returned from a hamstring injury in early January. The Red Devils are full of confidence right now, and they have enough quality to secure a home win against Brentford. The Bees have drawn their last six games, but that run could finally come to an end on Monday, as Fernandes is in sparkling form right now.
I’m backing United here. They’re coming off an impressive road win over Chelsea and have been dominant at home. Prior to the 2–1 loss to Leeds, they had won five straight at home, scoring at least two goals in each match. Brentford, meanwhile, haven’t been convincing away from home and are stuck in a stretch of underwhelming performances. Five straight draws might look steady on paper, but there’s not much to hang your hat on. Even in the match against Everton where they scored twice, they were second best throughout. I trust United in this spot, and I like them to get on the board at least twice.
