Manchester United v Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes straight tonight. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!
