Manchester United will look to get back to winning ways as they host Brentford at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag’s side find themselves under intense pressure to turn their form around having failed to pick up a win in their last five games in all competitions.
United make three changes, with Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui and Kobbie Mainoo all missing out.
Brentford, meanwhile, will look to build on their impressive early-season form which most recently saw them thump Wolves 5-3 at home.

‘Intimidating’ atmosphere…
A rather half-hearted effort from the United fans it must be said as Brentford arrive off their team bus
Who starts at left-back for United?
That seems to be the one burning question from this United starting XI. Jonny Evans has started there recently, as has Lisandro Martinez, so they would seem the two most likely candidates.
Team changes
So Erik ten Hag has made three changes from his 0-0 draw with Aston Villa as Matthijs de Ligt, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez come for Noussair Mazraoui and the injured Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo.
Brentford, meanwhile, have named an unchanged XI.
