Manchester United vs Brighton: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

The Red Devils hope to build on their wins over Sunderland and Liverpool

The dark clouds over the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ seem to be slowly shifting of late. After a dismal start to the season, Man Utd have now won back-to-back matches for the first time since Ruben Amorim took over.

After beating Sunderland before the international break, the Red Devils followed that up with a win over Liverpool in dramatic circumstances last time out as Harry Maguire’s last-gasp header at the back post clinched all three points at Anfield.

The result leaves United one point ahead of the Seagulls in the table, and both sides could climb into the European places with a win.

Manchester United vs Brighton team news

Lisandro Martinez is not quite yet ready to return for Manchester United, who have fresh doubts over Harry Maguire and Mason Mount.

Benjamin Sesko has scored twice in his last two starts and will be pushing for a recall after making a substitute appearance against Liverpool last time out.

Meanwhile, Leny Yoro is on standby if Maguire fails at late fitness test.

For Brighton, Diego Gomez has shaken off a knock but late decisions will be made on the fitness of Kaoru Mitoma, Brajan Gruda and Joel Veltman.

Adam Webster, Solly March and Jack Hinshelwood are all long-term absentees.

Manchester United vs Brighton prediction

This match will be a massive test for Amorim. After struggling for so long, things finally seem to be looking up - if only slightly - and he could set United on a really positive path with a result against Brighton.

Of course, that is easier said than done. The Seagulls are not an easy team to beat. See, for reference, the recent win over Chelsea and 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

After battling to a huge win over Liverpool last time out, United must ride the wave.

Manchester United to win, 2-1.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Brighton have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo was on the scoresheet when they last tasted defeat there - a 2-0 loss in February 2022.

Manchester United wins: 20

Brighton wins: 9

Draws: 5
