Manchester United FC are set to travel to the home of Brighton and Hove Albion for their next game in the Premier League. The Red Devils will try to get their first win of the Premier League season this weekend. With a week’s training and a handsome victory in the Carabao Cup, United will be confident of putting on a show on Saturday.
Brighton have also been in good shape having won their last two games, against Newcastle and Preston. By beating Preston, Brighton will again play United in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Without their main midfielder Bissouma, Brighton might be vulnerable in the midfielder which could be exploited by the likes of Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
Even after United’s loss in the Crystal Palace game in the season opener, it will be expected of the Red Devils to win this game. On the other hand, Brighton will be ready to put United’s mantel on test in the weekend. The last time both these sides locked horns, United won the tie comfortably with Bruno Fernandes bagging a brace as United won 3-0.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Date – 26th September Saturday
Time – 12:30 PM BST
Venue – Falmer Stadium
TEAM NEWS
Solskjaer will have a full squad at his disposal to choose from and the players will be in better shape than the Palace game. The likes of Wan Bissaka, Matic and Greenwood are all expected to start the game for United after being left out last weekend. Bailly has a great chance of starting in a Premier League game after his good performance against Luton Town and Lindelof’s dismal outing against the Eagles.
Following his red card in the previous Premier League encounter, Bissouma will be out against the Red Devils. Thus Brighton will have an important player out of the game and others will have to level-up to give United a fight.
