Man Utd to Host Brentford in Premier League

Manchester United take on visiting side Brentford at Old Trafford in the Premier League match on Monday.

Manchester United go into this match following a 1-1 Premier League draw against Chelsea.

In that game, Manchester United had 35% possession and 6 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Manchester United was Cristiano Ronaldo (62'). Chelsea had 21 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Marcos Alonso (60') was the scorer for Chelsea.

It has been seldom in recent times that Manchester United have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Manchester United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 12 goals in the process. Fans will have to see if that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Going into this contest, Manchester United are undefeated in their previous 8 home league matches. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

Previously, Brentford drew 0-0 in the Premier League tie with Tottenham Hotspur.

In that match, Brentford had 44% possession and 15 shots on goal with 2 on target. Tottenham Hotspur got 9 shots on goal with 0 on target.

A run of very capable showings by the Brentford defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 outings combined. Over that same time, the number of goals that they scored themselves was 11.

Coming into this fixture, Brentford are undefeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
