Manchester United are in London on Saturday for a lunchtime test at Brentford.
The Reds will be buoyed by the excellent 2-1 triumph over Chelsea on Sunday, thanks to goals from midfielders Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
As we have only won one of our four visits to the Gtech Community Stadium, the first occasion in January 2022, it is sure to be a challenge in the capital but another three points would help build momentum with only one more fixture – the home clash with Sunderland – to follow before another international break.
Here is what you need to know ahead of the game with the Bees…
HOW TO WATCH AND FOLLOW
It’s an early start on Saturday as the Reds kick off the Premier League weekend with the 12:30 BST start in south-west London.
The game is being broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports and, as usual, MUTV subscribers can consume all the build-up from 11:25 BST.
Former defender Wes Brown will be adding his analysis and insight, with Liam Bradford and Ben Thornley providing live radio commentary.

TEAM NEWS
Defenders Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez were the only players unavailable for the win over Chelsea.
However, Casemiro is suspended for the game at the Gtech Community Stadium, as he serves a one-match suspension for the red card received in first-half stoppage time.
Mason Mount, who has scored in each of his last two visits to Brentford, and Matheus Cunha came off the bench last weekend, after missing the Manchester derby due to injury.
Casemiro had been introduced to the XI in place of Manuel Ugarte, while Harry Maguire came in for Leny Yoro last time out.
As for the hosts, Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Nunes are facing a race to be fit.
There was no Reiss Nelson in the squad for the 3-1 loss at Fulham but Mikkel Damsgaard returned from illness, scoring the Bees’ goal.
See Mason Mount’s goal at Brentford last season.
FORM GUIDE
United sit 11th in the table, with the victory over Chelsea making it successive home wins for Ruben Amorim’s men.
We are looking for a first win on the road after drawing at Fulham and losing at Manchester City, plus exiting the Carabao Cup at Grimsby Town, following a penalty shootout.
Brentford may be in 17th place but they have been good at home, beating Aston Villa 1-0 in the league and knocking them out of the cup. A 2-2 draw was salvaged against fellow Londoners Chelsea, thanks to a late equaliser by Fabio Carvalho.
Their struggles have come away from the Gtech Community Stadium, suffering defeats to Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Fulham.
