Brighton will host Manchester United in a Premier League match at the AMEX Stadium on the 7th Saturday. 

Manchester United will visit the Amex Stadium after a convincing 3-0 win over Brentford. Fans finally had something to rejoice about last Monday. However, the Red Devils enter another must-win league game against the Seagulls.

A 3-0 win against Wolverhampton has given Brighton hope for the future. The Seagulls are aiming for a top-ten position. However, we feel that Manchester United is more desperate to win this match than Brighton. The Red Devils struggled for a month, not playing up to their reputation. They must recapture their peak form to complete the campaign in the top five.

Recently, Brighton has been in excellent form, beating top-ranked rivals like Arsenal, Spurs, and Wolverhampton. The Seagulls will try to keep up their winning ways by crushing the Red Devils.

In the wake of a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, Brighton will be looking for more of the same following this match. Brighton had 51 percent possession and 17 shots on goal, with nine shots on target.

Brighton vs. Manchester United Team News

Man United has had a tough season. They hold the 6th spot in the standings after 35 games, having accrued 55 points. The Red Devils have lost three of their previous five games. After a 1-1 draw with Chelsea and a 3 -0 win against Brentford, they’ll take on Brighton next.

The current season for Brighton in the English Premier League is one of their strongest ever. A total of 44 points following 35 games has put them 9th. Having thrashed Wolves 3-0 in their most recent meeting, the Seagulls are coming into this match on a three-match winning streak.

Injuries could be a major factor in Manchester United’s underwhelming display. Many crucial players, including Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba, Harry Maguire, and Jadon Sancho, seem unlikely to play this campaign. Harry Maguire, meanwhile, is anticipated to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. 

On Saturday, Enock Mwepu suffered a lower right leg injury during Brighton’s 1-0 loss to Wolves. Other players like Tudor Baluta, Jeremy Sarmiento, and Jakub Moder won’t be available for Saturday’s match against Manchester United due to injuries.
