There is Monday night English Premier League action for punters to look forward to and we take a look at the game between Manchester United and Brentford.
Let’s start with a look at the latest Outright Betting where there is little change over the weekend with Manchester City trading 4/10 favourites and Liverpool 18/10.

Manchester United are 6th on the table and have only won 1 of their last 6 games. Last time out they drew 1-1 at home to Chelsea and in their last 5 home games they have drawn 3 and won 2.
Brentford looked like they might be getting sucked into the relegation battle at one stage, but an impressive recent run of 3 victories and a draw in their last 4 games has seen them move to 14th on the table.
Their last game was a goalless draw at home to Tottenham and prior to that they had a 2-1 away win over Watford, but their most notable performance on the road was a 4-1 win at Chelsea in early April.
Brentford have only won 5 out of 17 matches on the road, but 3 of those victories have come in their last 4 away games.
Manchester United home matches have averaged 2.8 goals each this season with only 7 of the 18 games delivering you a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals. Brentford’s away matches have averaged 3.1 goals each with 11 of the 17 games reaching the 3 goal mark and had you been backing over 2.5 goals you would have collected profits in Brentford’s last 5 away games.
Manchester United beat Brentford 3-1 on the road in the reverse fixture.

Manchester United 15/20
Draw 3/1
Brentford 7/2
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 16/10
Manchester United’s home games may have had more low scoring than high scoring fixtures, but when there have been goals they have tended to flow freely. I mentioned that only 7 of the 18 Manchester United home games had reached the 3 goal mark, but all 7 of these games ultimately ended up with 4 goals or more in them so it is usually feast or famine at Old Trafford. 2 out of Brentford’s last 4 away games would also have seen this bet arrive and I am expecting the goals to flow in an entertaining fixture.
