Manchester United against Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
However, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!
