On September 26, Brighton & Hove Albion will play host to Manchester United in a clash between two seemingly mismatched English Premier League (EPL) teams.
Brighton & Hove Albion are fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Newcastle United, which they followed up with a 2-0 win over Preston North End in the Carabao Cup. The Seagulls are looking for direction this season after another lower-half finish in the EPL, and UK bookmakers have posted them as big outsiders to get over Manchester United at +350.
Manchester United kicked off their EPL with a 1-3 loss against Crystal Palace, but they hit back with a 3-0 whitewash over Luton Town in the Carabao Cup. The Red Devils finished third in the Premier League standings last season, albeit 33 points adrift of the champions, so fans and stakeholders are looking for plenty of improvement this term.
Last season Manchester United won the head-to-head battle with two wins, and long term they have recorded 10 wins against Brighton, who have just three wins to their name from 15 games. United lead the scoring matchup statistics with 25 goals to Brighton’s 10. The two teams have played out only two draws.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s top weapon lately has been Neal Maupay, who has three goals in the last five matches. Aaron Connolly and Leandro Trossard have also been contributing.
Donny van de Beek was Man United’s only goalscorer in the loss to Crystal Palace, but expect Bruno Fernandes to play a dominant role against Brighton.
Graham Potter’s squad will be without José Izquierdo, Dale Stephens, Steven Alzate, Davy Pröpper and Christian Walton. Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones are unavailable to play for Manchester United.
