We’re gearing up for an intriguing Premier League clash as Brentford hosts Manchester United on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at the Gtech Community Stadium. This Matchday 35 encounter pits Thomas Frank’s resilient Bees against Rúben Amorim’s struggling Red Devils, with both teams coming off contrasting results and United balancing Europa League commitments. Expect a tactical battle as Brentford’s attacking flair meets United’s quest for consistency.
Below, we provide the match context, broadcast details, and predictions to ensure you catch every moment live.
Brentford arrives in strong form, sitting 11th with 49 points after a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, with goals from Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa. Under Thomas Frank, the Bees have been a tough proposition at home, with a 5W-2D-2L record at Gtech Community Stadium, scoring 22 goals in the league. Bryan Mbeumo (8 goals) and Wissa (6 goals) lead their attack, while Christian Nørgaard anchors the midfield. Brentford’s ability to recover points from losing positions (16 points since last season) makes them dangerous, though injuries to Josh Dasilva (knee) and Rico Henry (hamstring) test their depth. Their 4-0 rout of United in 2022 at home remains a psychological edge, despite United’s historical dominance (10W-2D-6L in 18 meetings).
Manchester United, languishing in 14th with 39 points, drew 1-1 with Bournemouth, with Rasmus Højlund scoring. Rúben Amorim’s side, fresh off a 2-2 Europa League semifinal draw with Athletic Club, is under pressure after a 1-0 loss to Wolves and a season marred by inconsistency (only 28 goals scored, third-lowest in the league). Bruno Fernandes (5 goals) and Alejandro Garnacho (4 assists) are key, but injuries to Luke Shaw (calf), Mason Mount (hamstring), and Harry Maguire (doubtful, knock) expose defensive frailties, with 41 goals conceded. United’s 2W-3D-4L away record and a rotated squad—potentially featuring debutant Jaydan Kamason, as noted on X—add uncertainty. Their 7-6 comeback against Lyon in the Europa League shows resilience, but Brentford’s pace could exploit United’s backline.
The head-to-head favors United, but Brentford’s three wins in the last six meetings, including a 3-1 upset in 2022, suggest competitiveness. Posts on X highlight United’s likely rotation due to Europa League fatigue, with fans debating a youthful lineup, while Brentford’s attacking consistency is praised.
The match kicks off at 7:00 AM Central Mexico Time (9:00 AM ET, 3:00 PM CEST) on May 4, 2025, at the Gtech Community Stadium. Broadcast and streaming options include:

Date and Time: Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 7:00 AM CMT (9:00 AM ET, 3:00 PM CEST)
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford, London
Context: Brentford (11th, 49 points) rides a wave of confidence, while United (14th, 39 points) seeks to salvage their season amid Europa League demands.
Key Players:
Prediction: Brentford’s home form and attacking edge give them a slight advantage, but United’s individual quality could keep it close. Betting odds list Brentford at +150, United at +170, and a draw at +250. With Brentford’s 22 home goals and United’s defensive issues, over 2.5 goals (-110) and both teams to score (-120) are likely, as X posts suggest a high-scoring affair. A 2-1 Brentford win is predicted, with Mbeumo scoring, though Fernandes may create danger for United.
Projected Lineups (subject to rotation and injuries):
We expect a lively contest, with Brentford’s attacking momentum challenging United’s rotated squad. The Bees’ home strength and United’s defensive vulnerabilities tilt the scales, but Amorim’s side could capitalize on counterattacks. The Gtech Community Stadium’s atmosphere will amplify the stakes, making this a crucial moment for both teams’ seasons. Follow live updates on GOAL or AS.com for minute-by-minute coverage.
