United faced the Bees for the first time since the league’s formation in 1992 last season, following the latter’s promotion to the top flight, ending a gap of over 46 years since the last contest in the fixture.
Our matches against the London club in the 2022/23 campaign are therefore set to add to a recently revitalised record that we share with one of our most infrequent opponents in the competition’s history.
Despite that fact, we can already boast fond memories from the game’s short Premier League archive, following two strong performances last season.
BRENTFORD 1 UNITED 3 (2021/22)
A reunion with the Bees was put on hold from its original December 2021 date due to a Covid-19 outbreak at United, but the game was worth the wait when we made our first-ever trip to the new Brentford Community Stadium just over a month later.
