THE LOWDOWN
BRENTFORD
- It’s now three wins and ten points from Brentford’s last four Premier League matches following an excellent 3-1 victory over Liverpool in the capital, further cementing their place in the top half of the table.
- Full-back Aaron Hickey is back in full training and could be involved against Bournemouth, but both Shandon Baptiste and Pontus Jansson will miss out.
BOURNEMOUTH
- Whilst Bournemouth were always unlikely to get anything at Old Trafford, the Cherries are now slipping down the Premier League table at an alarming rate and are yet to pick up a point since the World Cup break.
- Jefferson Lerma will be hoping to prove his fitness ahead of the game and Gary O’Neill will be desperate to have one of his key midfielders available.

THE PREDICTION
Reality is starting to bite for Bournemouth and five straight defeats in all competitions since December tells you everything you need to know. Confidence is fragile on the pitch, with players making individual mistakes in key passages of play and at this level, they are being punished for it. Ultimately, their squad is among the weakest in the top flight and is being exposed among this busy period. Brentford are in a prime position to capitalise with the Bees playing well in the league and boasting a significant cutting edge from an attacking point of view. With home advantage in their favour here, they should wind up too strong for Bournemouth and pick up all three points.
TIP: BRENTFORD TO WIN
