"Matheus Cunha was a surprise absentee from the teamsheet to face Brentford, given the Brazilian has been a near ever-present this season under both Michael Carrick and Ruben Amorim. He played close to the full duration of the victory over Chelsea after scoring the winner, but Carrick revealed ahead of kick-off that he had picked up a minor hip flexor injury in doing so."
"Luke Shaw's earlier years were defined by injury, but he has enjoyed a sustained run of fitness this campaign, playing 34 matches so far. However, he could not complete the full ninety minutes against Brentford after going down off the ball and hobbling off in the second half."
"Michael Carrick picked up two fresh concerns after the match, and with another big match on the road to Europe against Liverpool next weekend, he will hope to have as many players at his disposal as possible."
