Manchester United
Being blessed with no fewer than four injury boosts before the trip to St James', Ten Hag welcomed all of Raphael Varane, Marcus Rashford, Marcel Sabitzer and the luckless Anthony Martial into his ranks for that defeat - the latter should now come into contention for a start over the ineffective Wout Weghorst.
However, a trio of ankle victims in Alejandro Garnacho, Tom Heaton and Christian Eriksen remained sidelined alongside Donny van de Beek (knee), while Casemiro serves the penultimate game of his four-match domestic ban, restricting Ten Hag's options in the centre of the park again.
Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka was also a late absentee from Sunday's game due to illness, but should the defender make a rapid recovery, he could be one of a few alterations alongside Fred and Jadon Sancho.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Sabitzer, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
Brentford
While Man United continue to cope without a suspended midfielder, Brentford welcome lynchpin Shandon Baptiste back from a one-game ban, although Vitaly Janelt is still struggling to shake off a knee problem.
Kristoffer Ajer (calf) and Keane Lewis-Potter (knee) are also unlikely to play again until the final few weeks of the season, but Frank has no fresh concerns to report from the six-goal stalemate with Brighton, where Jansson marked his first Premier League start since October with a goal.
The Swede could therefore continue in a three-man backline for the visitors - assuming he is fit enough - but Yoane Wissa will be eyeing Mikkel Damsgaard's spot on the left.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Raya; Mee, Pinnock, Jansson; Hickey, Jensen, Norgaard, Henry; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa
Prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Brentford
