Brentford will be bidding to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce when they go up against Manchester United at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Bees kept up their strong end to the campaign by claiming an impressive 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Thursday night, in a game that brought up my City Ground selection.
That victory moved Thomas Frank’s team to within touching distance of the top half of the table heading into the final stretch of the season.
Seeking to keep the feelgood factor flowing, Brentford will look to bank another three points when Manchester United come to town.
Ruben Amorim presided over his most impressive result as United boss to date when watching his side take control of their Europa League semi-final tie with a 3-0 win away at Athletic Bilbao on Thursday night.
The United chief will be hoping that triumph can act as a springboard for further success when the Red Devils roll into the capital this weekend.
How the bookies view it: Bees to keep on buzzing
Brentford are short-priced 8/13 favourites on Boylesports as they look to claim what would be a third Premier League win on the spin.
Manchester United – who have failed to win each of their last five Premier League matches – are big outsiders at 15/4 on Boylesports while the draw is an unfancied 14/5 with the same firm.
Head to head: Red Devils rule the roost
Manchester United have fared well in this fixture following Brentford's promotion to the Premier League back in 2021. In fact, the Red Devils have reigned supreme in five of the overall seven meetings since then, including this season's reverse fixture at Old Trafford.
Players to watch: Mbeumo to make his mark?
With 18 goals and six assists across his 34 Premier League appearances this season, Bryan Mbeumo stands out for a goal or an assist on Sunday at 5/6 with PaddyPower.
Luke Shaw could be in direct battle with the above-mentioned Mbeumo, making the tough-tackling Man United defender worthy of support to commit two or more fouls at 13/8 on Bet365.
Predicted line-ups
Despite the quick turnaround, Brentford boss Frank could opt to stick with the same set of players that put Nottingham Forest to the sword on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Man United manager Amorim will almost certainly shuffle his pack given that this game is sandwiched between United's Europa League semi-final tie with Athletic Bilbao.
Brentford: Flekken; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade
Man United: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Shaw; Dorgu, Ugarte, Fernandes, Amass; Mount, Garnacho; Hojlund
Anything else catch the eye?
Like the aforementioned Mbemou, Yoane Wissa is another Brentford player who is enjoying a fine season in front of goal.
In fact, the Bees attacker has registered an impressive 17 goals and four assists across his 31 top-flight appearances this term.
With that in mind, Wissa also looks well worth getting behind in the to score or assist market at 10/11 on PaddyPower.
