Will Brentford's match against Manchester United be broadcasted? 'Wonderkid' Chido Obi receives his initial start, per Amorim's decision.
Got a Premier League showdown on your hands this weekend, Brentford hosting Manchester United, but don't count on catching it on the telly, mate.
The Bees are still in the running for a spot in the Europa Conference League after a spectacular midweek victory against Nottingham Forest. But it's all for naught if they can't follow it up versus the Red Devils, losing twelve of their prior meetings with United (1 win, 2 draws, 9 losses).
Despite the comfortable 3-0 lead United has in the Europa League semi-finals against Athletic Bilbao, it's likely that we'll see some lineup changes from Ruben Amorim.
