Match Preview
Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
