Manchester United vs Brentford Live plus 3pm Premier League fixtures

Jhon Duran has been in sensational form this season, but he is still only on the bench with Ollie Watkins up front once again.

Marco Silva celebrates his 150th game in charge of Fulham today and has recalled Emile Smith Rowe to his starting line-up.

Forwards Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter start for Brighton, but there is no room for Yankuba Minteh against his former club.

Newcastle host Brighton this afternoon and have the welcome boost of Alexander Isak returning to their starting XI.

Brentford come into this game after making a positive start to the season.

Bryan Mbeumo has been their standout performer, and he leads the line once more.

Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez start for Man United, and Jonny Evans is also in the XI.

It looks like Martinez may play at left back, with Noussair Mazraoui only on the bench after his recent minor heart procedure.

Casemiro partners Christian Eriksen in midfield.

Team news will be coming up at 1.45pm.

Ten Hag picked a very surprising XI against Aston Villa last time out. What team will be put out today?

The question of who would replace Erik ten Hag if he was to leave Manchester United is still a tricky one to answer.

With Thomas Tuchel off the market, it's anyone's guess who they would go for.

One person Ineos could consider, though, is Thomas Frank.

The Brentford boss has worked wonders in west London and after a slight blip in form last year, he has the Bees buzzing again.

United's poor form is not the only reason people think they may struggle today, it's also due to how brilliant Brentford have been.

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have both sung Frank's praises in the past, so Ratcliffe wouldn't go far wrong by at least considering him.

If Brentford manage to pull off a huge result today, then he may just put himself in pole position.

Would you want Frank as boss, United fans?

Erik ten Hag, Manchester United boss, speaking on Friday:

It feels like it could go off any time now.

Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United continues to be shrouded in doubt week after week.

I bet Sir Jim Ratcliffe has had The Clash running through his head over the past few weeks.

While Ten Hag may still be safe in his job at the moment, he is certainly walking a tightrope.

United are winless in their last five games and have had their worst-ever start to a Premier League season after seven matches.

If they fail to win once again today, the speculation will only get worse for the Dutchman.

It's D-Day for him once more.

The headline may single out Manchester United's crunch match with Brentford, but that's not where all our focus will be today.

For fans of the other eight Premier League sides in action at 3pm, we have also got your covered, there is no need to worry.

There are certainly some tasty tussles to sink your teeth into today, so I think we should have a look at what's in store.

Here are today's 3pm kick-offs:

The creme de la creme of Premier League football on Saturday is back!

I adore the 3pm kick-offs, don't you?

They are a staple in English football, it would feel weird without them. Today, we have some real belters in store.

Newcastle will do battle with fellow European hopefuls, Brighton, while Fulham host in-form Aston Villa.

However, today's main draw is Manchester United's match with Brentford. Will it be Erik ten Hag's last in charge?

The clock seems to be ticking on his time at the club.

It's going to be one hell of a day, so strap yourselves in and join this ride.

Let's get cracking!
