Match Preview

It has been a slow start to the new Premier League season for Man United, and off-field issues are threatening to derail the progression made in Erik ten Hag’s first season in charge. The Red Devils currently sit eleventh in the standings after winning two and losing two in their opening four.

The two defeats that United have suffered this season means that they have lost half of their opening four matches for just the second time in the last eleven seasons. United’s record in this fixture also needs further inspection, as they have lost each of their last three against the Seagulls. That includes a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford on the opening day of last season.

Brighton continue to be one of the standout teams in the Premier League, and any risk that their European finish last term may have been a fluke have been answered emphatically over the opening weeks of the campaign. The Seagulls went into the international break after picking up a 3-1 win over Newcastle, with Evan Ferguson netting a first professional hat-trick.

Brighton landed a 4-1 win against Wolves in their first match on the road this term. However, they haven’t picked up back-to-back wins away from home since January. However, they have scored at least once in each of their last 15 matches away from the AMEX Stadium.
