Manchester United v Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Introduction
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
However, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!
