24/08 Football Predictions: Brighton vs Manchester United – EPL

Brighton & Hove Albion are set to welcome Manchester United to the Amex Stadium for what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash. Both teams come into this fixture with contrasting fortunes from their opening games. Brighton were impressive in their 3-0 victory over Everton, showing signs that their summer investments are beginning to pay off. 

On the other hand, Manchester United eked out a narrow 1-0 win against Fulham but looked vulnerable at times, particularly on the counter. With Brighton’s recent success against United, having won four of their last five league meetings, this game is poised to be a fiercely contested battle as both teams aim to build early momentum in the season.

Brighton vs Manchester United Team News

Brighton will be without a few key players for this match, which could impact their performance. Despite this, they have a deep squad with new signings eager to prove themselves under the guidance of new manager Fabian Hurzeler. The Seagulls’ fans will be hopeful that the team can maintain their recent strong form against Manchester United, especially with the pace and creativity they have shown on the wings.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have their own injury concerns and suspensions to manage. Their defensive setup has been under scrutiny, and with several key players unavailable, manager Erik ten Hag will need to rotate his squad carefully to ensure stability at the back while maintaining their attacking threat.

Probable Line-Up

Brighton XI: Verbruggen; Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Igor; Gross, Gilmour; Bounanotte, Enciso, Adingra; Pedro

Manchester United XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee

Verdict 

This match is shaping up to be a close contest, with Brighton’s recent success against Manchester United giving them confidence, especially at home. However, United’s ability to score consistently in away games makes them a threat. Brighton’s counter-attacking prowess, particularly through the wings, could exploit United’s defensive vulnerabilities, especially given the visitors’ injury concerns.
