Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Game on!
