Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Only problem is, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven encounters head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!
