Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three consecutive successes straight in this match. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven encounters between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, making this match competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!
