*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Brentford still have designs on finishing as high as eighth this season and having beaten highflying Forest on Thursday, the 8/13 favourites will be confident of success against United.
Man Utd enjoyed a rare comfortable evening in Bilbao in midweek (3-0), however, with potential fatigue likely a factor, they have been given just a 21.2% chance of winning on Sunday. View more of our free football predictions and Premier League analysis on our dedicated page.

Brentford preview: Bees could freshen up
Injured trio Vitaly Janelt, Fabio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva are sidelined and miss out again here. Head Coach Thomas Frank will be tempted to shuffle his pack following the short turnaround between matches.

Player to watch – Yoane Wissa
Teammates Yoane Wissa and Brian Mbuemo are locked in a two-way race to finish as Brentford’s top scorer in the Premier League this season, and Wissa scored his 17th goal of the campaign (to Mbuemo’s 18) with an effort at Forest in midweek.
Pacey Wissa can threaten
Congolese international Wissa etched his name on the scoresheet in each of his last three starts for Brentford and the 28-year-old’s blend of pace and trickery could make him a massive threat again when the Bees host Man Utd on Sunday.
