Manchester United vs Brighton – Prediction, and Match Preview
Manchester United vs Brighton – One of the most thrilling games of Gameweek No. 5 at Old Trafford will take place on Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford as Manchester United continues their demanding schedule against Brighton.
With a Champions League opening scheduled for Wednesday and multiple injuries to their defensive line, the Red Devils are in a difficult situation. They have lost two of their last three league games.
The absence of healthy options for Erik ten Hag’s defensive line is a major concern, as Lisandro Martinez has joined Luke Shaw, Tyler Malacia, and Raphael Varane on the injured list.
Prior to this, United had conceded two goals in each of the previous three league games, including the barely contested 3-2 victory at home against Nottingham Forest.
This defensive form is definitely not what you want to have going into the match against Brighton, whose offensive line is playing at an extremely high level at the beginning of the season.
After Evan Ferguson’s hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Newcastle in the previous round, the Seagulls moved up to sixth league place with three straight wins. At least four goals have been scored in Roberto De Zerbi’s four Premier League outings this season.
They have scored three goals or more in three of their last four games, so we have every reason to believe that they will continue to be effective up front against the ailing Manchester United defense.
