Man Utd vs Brentford - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Manchester United are back in the doldrums after consecutive defeats with Brentford the next side to try to add fuel to the fire in their Premier League meeting on Saturday.

The games keep on coming for Man Utd but after some slight respite from their poor form with wins over Burnley in the league and Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, it has all come crashing down again with back-to-back defeats.

Palace left Old Trafford with all three points at the weekend before Erik ten Hag's side lost their second Champions League game of the season to Galatasaray despite Rasmus Hojlund's brace.

Brentford are the next visitors at the Theatre of Dreams with Thomas Frank's team in need of a result to kick-start their season. The Bees are only three points above the relegation zone and have won just one league Game all season.

Manchester United team news

The general focus is understandably on Man Utd's poor performances and results, but their injury situation is still a seriously dire one. Lisandro Martinez is sidelined for the foreseeable future, while Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are out injured too.

Jadon Sancho remains out of the picture, though Antony has returned to the first-team squad and came off the bench against Galatasaray.

There is a rush to get Sergio Reguilon back into the fray given he is one of three injured left-backs, but there is better news over youngster Kobbie Mainoo, who is back in training after impressing in pre-season.

Manchester United vs Brentford score prediction

This is not an easy game to call with both teams struggling for form and confidence. Man Utd should always be the clear favourites to win a home Premier League game against a side with just one victory in their first seven games, but things are not that simple.

Ten Hag's team need to be more pragmatic like they were in victory away at Burnley, but with such haphazard defending it's tough to back the home side for victory, even with an in-form Rasmus Hojlund up front.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Brentford
