Manchester United are back in the doldrums after consecutive defeats with Brentford the next side to try to add fuel to the fire in their Premier League meeting on Saturday.
The games keep on coming for Man Utd but after some slight respite from their poor form with wins over Burnley in the league and Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, it has all come crashing down again with back-to-back defeats.
Palace left Old Trafford with all three points at the weekend before Erik ten Hag's side lost their second Champions League game of the season to Galatasaray despite Rasmus Hojlund's brace.
Brentford are the next visitors at the Theatre of Dreams with Thomas Frank's team in need of a result to kick-start their season. The Bees are only three points above the relegation zone and have won just one league game all season.

Manchester United vs Brentford score prediction
This is not an easy game to call with both teams struggling for form and confidence. Man Utd should always be the clear favourites to win a home Premier League game against a side with just one victory in their first seven games, but things are not that simple.
Ten Hag's team need to be more pragmatic like they were in victory away at Burnley, but with such haphazard defending it's tough to back the home side for victory, even with an in-form Rasmus Hojlund up front.
Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Brentford
