Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Updates

Introduction

Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes straight in this match. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Only problem is, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.

Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!
