The Bees have only lost once in their last 16 Premier League games, and were seconds away from a superb victory at Brighton & Hove Albion before having to settle for a point from a 3-3 draw at the weekend.
United slipped behind Newcastle in the table with our 2-0 reverse at St James' Park but the chance to get back on home turf will hopefully help Erik ten Hag's side reignite the charge for a top-four finish.
Casemiro serves the third of his four-match suspension, following the red card he received in the 0-0 draw with Southampton, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be assessed after an overnight illness ruled him out of the squad for the defeat on Tyneside.
