Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes straight this evening. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Game on!
