Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes straight in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, the visitors are also famously erratic like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30pm BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!
