Brentford vs Manchester United: Kickoff, TV and Team News for Saturday’s Lunchtime Match

Brentford’s strong home record under Keith Andrews heightens expectations of a close contest given Manchester United’s away malaise under Ruben Amorim.

Overview

Kickoff is 12:30pm BST on Saturday, September 27 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with live UK coverage on TNT Sports and streaming on Discovery+, plus BBC One highlights on Match of the Day at 10:30pm.
Manchester United are still seeking a first away win of the season and have yet to record back-to-back league victories during Amorim’s near year in charge.
All of Brentford’s Premier League points this season have been earned at home, reinforcing the Gtech Community Stadium as a recent strength.
Casemiro is suspended for United, Lisandro Martinez remains at least a month from returning after knee surgery, and full-back Noussair Mazraoui is a doubt after missing training.
Brentford hope to have Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Nunes available after injury, there are no fresh fitness issues reported, last season’s fixture finished 4-3 to the hosts, and some previews predict another close game such as a 2-2 draw.
