Meanwhile Brentford are fighting to avoid relegation, sitting in 15th with 26 points.

Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils have a chance to get Lisandro Martinez back into the lineup on Saturday. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder from Argentina has been out since spraining a medial collateral ligament against West Ham in early February. But he joined the Argentina squad over the international break, and manager Erik ten Hag said Friday there is a chance he could be available against Brentford. Martinez's composure and calmness would help stabilize a Manchester United defense that has had issues with giving up shots this season.
In addition, the Red Devils face a Brentford side that has struggled recently. The Bees are winless in their last six matches, having lost five of them. They have been outscored 15-7 over that stretch. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Brentford
The Bees are a much better team at home than on the road this season. In 14 matches at Gtech Community Stadium this season, Brentford have four wins, four draws and six losses. By contrast, in 15 road matches, they have just three wins, one draw and 11 losses. They also have scored 24 goals at home versus 17 on the road.
The Bees face a Manchester United club that has been porous defensively. The Red Devils have conceded 16.7 shots per game this season, better than only Luton Town (17.3) and Sheffield United (17.9). For comparison, Brentford have conceded 14.8 shots per game. See which team to pick here.
