Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins straight this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
