Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes straight in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly thrilling to watch.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!
