Manchester United face a nervous wait to see whether their clash against Brentford – which should kick off the midweek Premier League TV schedule – will go ahead.

The Red Devils have suffered a COVID outbreak around their training ground in recent days with major question marks raised over their participation in this one.

If it does go ahead, Ralf Rangnick will hope to build on a solid, if unspectacular, start to life with United.

His side will leap into fourth place for at least a short while if they play and topple Thomas Frank’s side on Tuesday evening.

Brentford’s season has been a mixed bag so far with a bright early start then free-fall run of form middling out with the Bees in 10th.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Brentford v Man Utd on TV and online.

Our prediction: Brentford v Man Utd

United have David De Gea to thank for their recent defensive successes, but it’s certainly no bad thing to have your No.1 goalkeeper raising his game in a crucial period.

Rangnick will be encouraged by Mason Greenwood’s recent form, while Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho have shown flashes of breaking out of their ruts.

Brentford are a nice team to watch, they know how to find the net, but they also don’t know how to keep clean sheets. Expect goals in this one, and the balance to tilt in United’s favour.

Our prediction: Brentford 1-2 Man Utd (17/2 at bet365)
