Old Trafford, Saturday, October 25 | Kick-off: 5:30 p.m. BST
Manchester United will look to make it three consecutive Premier League victories when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.
This fixture carries extra intrigue, as Brighton have turned into something of a bogey team for the Red Devils in recent seasons. The Seagulls stunned United with a 3–1 victory at Old Trafford in January — their third consecutive win at the Theatre of Dreams and fourth in the last five meetings between the two sides.
For Rúben Amorim, this match represents an opportunity to showcase his team’s growing belief and consistency. United’s dramatic 2–1 win over Liverpool last weekend — sealed by a late Harry Maguire header — marked back-to-back league victories for the first time under the Portuguese manager. Another triumph here would underline the progress being made under his stewardship and further strengthen United’s push up the table.
Brighton, on the other hand, arrive in Manchester full of confidence. Fabian Hürzeler’s men have already notched statement wins over Manchester City and Chelsea this season and remain unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. Their vibrant, high-energy football has troubled top teams repeatedly, and they will fancy their chances of extending their impressive record at Old Trafford.
With both sides in form and plenty at stake, Saturday’s clash promises to be an enthralling encounter — a test of United’s momentum against Brighton’s fearless, free-flowing style.
