Man United v Brentford LIVE: Yoro on the bench but Cunha misses out in crucial clash in battle for European places

Manchester United host Brentford in a crucial clash in the battle for European places at the pointy end of the Premier League season.

The hosts remain third in the table, level on points with both Liverpool and Aston Villa and looking well placed to earn a berth in next season’s Champions League. Michael Carrick will be keen, though, for his team to finish strongly – not least with a permanent role at Old Trafford potentially within his grasp if he can avoid letting things slip in these last few weeks.

Things are rather more fraught for Brentford with just four points separating sixth place from 12th in a congested clutch of contenders for a continental adventure. A win here would vault Keith Andrews’s side above Brighton the head of the queue. The Londoners have already beaten Manchester United once this season – can they do it again?
