After the international break, Manchester United welcomes Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford hoping to banish the bad outing they had in their last time out in the Premier League.
United has had a lot of off-field issues with their latest setback being in Anthony’s unavailability due to domestic violence accusations. The distraction will force others in the team to step up when they come against a Brighton side who have been scoring goals for fun.
Brighton have won three of their last four meetings with Man Utd in all competitions and claimed a 2-1 win on their last trip to Old Trafford so they wont be an easy ride for Erik ten Hag who is doing everything to get his team firing again.
H2H/Stats
Man United wins: 20
Draws: 5
Brighton wins: 6
Team News
Antony has been put on a leave of absence amid allegations of violence from three women, while Jadon Sancho’s position in the team is still uncertain after publicly going against his manager. Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane are still out while Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez and new signing Sofyan Amrabat will be assessed before the game. Kobbie Mainoo, Tyrell Malacia, and Amad Traore are other absentees.
For Brighton, Ferguson and Espinola look set to miss out this weekend as the Irishman picked up an injury on international duty, and there are also doubts over Welbeck and Moder ahead of the trip to Old Trafford.
Probable Line-Ups
Manchester United XI: Onana (GK), Lindelöf, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, Martínez, Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund, Mount
Brighton XI: Verbruggen (GK), Veltman, Dunk, Lamptey, van Hecke, Groß, March, Gilmour, Mitoma, Pedro, Fati
Verdict
It’s becoming hard each day to predict Manchester United games but with their porus defence and Brighton’s ability to score goals, this is a tie that will surely have goals.
