Brentford takes on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United team in a crucial match on Wednesday at Old Trafford as the Premier League returns to action this week with a new round of games.

Brentford, who are now ranked seventh in the Premier League, have regularly surpassed expectations this season. The away team will need to step up their game in this match after a weekend 3-3 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
