Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row tonight. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven encounters in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, kids. It’s on!
