Manchester United continue their 2022-23 Premier League campaign with a trip to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford, on Saturday.
Brentford came from two goals behind to salvage a point in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, while Erik ten Hag started his England sojourn with a 2-1 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Christian Eriksen will be returning to his former side whom he left at the end of his contract last season to join Man Utd, but the pressure will be on Ten Hag's men to get a positive turnaround before hosting Liverpool in their next fixture.
GOAL brings you all the information that you need to follow the weekend action live.
