Premier League Gameweek 6 kicks off at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as Brentford take on a suddenly buoyant Manchester United.
The Red Devils are in high spirits off the back of last week’s chaotic 2–1 victory over Chelsea, during which both teams were reduced to ten men. While United’s performance was far from outstanding, the three points offered Ruben Amorim a week’s worth of respite.
The Portuguese coach is now aiming to oversee back-to-back Premier League wins for the very first time, and his side benefited from having a free midweek after their humiliating Carabao Cup elimination at the hands of Grimsby Town.
Brentford are into the fourth round of the competition, having impressively beaten Bournemouth and Aston Villa. However, they’ve won just one of their five Premier League outings under new manager Keith Andrews and were defeated 3–1 by west London rivals Fulham last time out.
Still, Bees supporters have happy memories of this fixture since securing their top-flight status in 2021. Their 4–0 beatdown of Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils in 2022 will live long in Gtech folklore.
Here is’s guide to the Saturday lunchtime clash.
