Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three consecutive successes on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. It’s on!
