Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Preamble
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. Game on!
