Brentford vs. Manchester United Match Details
Fixture: Manchester United @ Brentford
Date & Time: Saturday, August 13, 12:30 p.m. EDT
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium
Manchester United dropped their first match of the season 2-1 against Brighton at home. United picked up right where they left off last season, as they looked sluggish throughout the 90 minutes. They'll look to notch their first points of the new campaign away from home.
Brentford drew 2-2 last Sunday against Leicester City. Josh Dasilva's 86th-minute goal salvaged the draw for the Bees on the road. They'll play their first home match of the season this Saturday against their former midfielder Christian Eriksen and Manchester United.
Looking at recent history, Brentford has seen three or more goals in each of their last five EPL games. Their last three games versus United in all competitions have ended with three or more goals scored. Last year, the Red Devils won 3-1 at Brentford and 3-0 versus Brentford at Old Trafford. Look to see three or more goals once again during this match.

Wolves and Fulham meet on Saturday, with the home side coming off of a disappointing defeat via an own goal. Wolves will be searching for their first points against newly promoted Fulham.
Fulham fought hard against Liverpool last weekend, earning a draw courtesy of two goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic. Fulham has turned a lot of heads with this performance, and will look to keep this momentum going.
