The guests are also attested to have serious difficulties both in attack and in defence. The British media are anything but restrained in their criticism of new and interim coach Ralf Rangnick, who was celebrated as a brilliant tactician before taking office. But even under his direction, the Red Devils offensive still has sand in the gears, the supposed defensive strength received a few scratches in view of the last four games with at least one goal conceded. Rangnick himself is still looking for the perfect tactical corset for his squad, which was of course put together without his influence. At the end of the day, however, the only thing that counts for the visitors tonight is a win given the weekend’s draw and previous defeat by Wolverhampton.

After the defeat at the weekend against Liverpool (0:3), Manchester United is the next big name waiting for the Bees, who are currently not doing well either front or back. So far they have only scored 24 goals in 21 league games, even just three in the last five. And with 39 goals conceded so far, the Londoners have the third worst defense in the Premier League.

Another point that fuels speculation: With Thomas Frank, the hosts are led by a Danish coach.
