Man Utd v Brighton

Manchester United vs Brighton Preview

Manchester United were given a scare by the bottom club in the Premier League on Thursday night when the Red Devils fell behind 1-0 at home to Southampton but nevertheless, Ruben Amorim's side stormed back with three late goals to secure an important three-point haul at Old Trafford.

Brighton's frustrating eight-match winless run in the Premier League came to an end on Thursday night when The Seagulls registered a solid 2-0 win away from home at strugglers, Ipswich Town, and the south coast club will be looking for more of the same when they hit the road again on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford.

That welcome win at home against bottom club Southampton has helped lift Manchester United up into 12th place but the hosts continue to be way off the mark in the English top flight, something Ruben Amorim has been tasked with to vastly improve the ailing giants' fortunes this term.

Recent results have been extremely disappointing as Manchester United have managed to collect just two wins from their previous eight games overall in the English top flight which were gained over the likes of Manchester City (away) and Southampton, along with being handed five defeats as well.

Nevertheless, although United had previously slumped to three defeats on the trot at home before the Southampton result, Ruben Amorim's side now have a good opportunity to record back-to-back wins this Sunday.

Brighton overcame a spirited but toothless Ipswich Town outfit at Portman Road on Thursday night as the south coast club picked up all three points with a 2-0 win which in turn has helped lift Fabian Hürzeler's side up into the top half of the Premier League table in ninth place.

Brighton had previously failed to win any of their preceding eight games in the domestic top flight as the south coast club were involved in no fewer than six stalemates along with being dealt two defeats as well.

Losses at the hands of Fulham and arch-rivals Crystal Palace, both by 3-1 margins, have overshadowed points picked up by way of six draws, while results away from home have been reasonable enough from Brighton's perspective, slipping to just three defeats in their previous 12 outings on the road in the Premier League.

However, having managed to keep just three clean sheets in their last 14 away games in the top flight, Brighton could have their work cut out at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United v Brighton Verdict

Manchester United have not had the best of records against Brighton in recent times as the Red Devils have won just two of the last seven meetings but their comeback win against The Saints should give United a welcome boost for this encounter.
