Brighton vs. Chelsea and Burnley vs. Watford have also been rescheduled that week and will be played on the Tuesday.

Before then Manchester United will aim to get their season back on track with two fixtures against Aston Villa.

The FA Cup tie on Monday is the first round for both the Premier League clubs and they will meet again in the league at 17:30 GMT on Saturday.

Following the Brentford midweek clash, United will play host to in-form West Ham in a match cruical to the club’s battle for Top 4.
