Hoping to slay a second South Coast team at Old Trafford in the space of a week, Manchester United host Brighton & Hove Albion in Sunday afternoon's Premier League scrap.
Manchester United:
After a thrilling 3-1 comeback win against Southampton, Manchester United look to secure their third straight victory under Ruben Amorim. Amad Diallo stole the spotlight with a historic hat-trick, becoming the second-youngest player in club history to achieve the feat. Despite climbing to 12th in the Premier League table, United’s defensive frailties remain a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 consecutive matches. Moreover, their sluggish starts have become a pattern, with all 11 of their recent league goals against Brighton coming after halftime. A strong second-half showing will be critical as the Red Devils seek revenge for their August defeat to the Seagulls.
Brighton & Hove Albion:
Ending an eight-game Premier League winless streak, Brighton returned to form with a clinical 2-0 victory at Ipswich Town. Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter ensured Fabian Hurzeler’s side remains in the top half, just four points behind sixth-placed Manchester City. The Seagulls are unbeaten in five league games and have found the net in all 11 of their away fixtures this season. Brighton have also enjoyed recent success against Manchester United, boasting five wins in their last seven meetings, including back-to-back triumphs at Old Trafford. Another victory on Sunday would solidify their reputation as a bogey team for the Red Devils.
