Man United have been strong at Old Trafford, scoring 31 goals in home matches. Only Arsenal (36) and Man City (38) have been more prolific on home turf.
The Red Devils also rank second for shots (282) and fourth for xG (34.20), highlighting their attacking threat.
Brentford, meanwhile, have conceded 25 goals in away matches and kept five clean sheets. The Bees rank seventh for shots conceded (212) and fourth for 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) (24.18), suggesting they can be difficult to break down despite their mixed away record.
