Manchester and Brighton will be both looking to build on vital midweek victories when they lock horns at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. The Seagulls eased to a 0-2 victory at Ipswich, to end a run of seven league games without victory and move back into the top half of the Premier League table. Meanwhile, United needed a late hat trick from Amad Diallo to complete a 3-1 comeback victory over bottom side Southampton. When the two sides met at the beginning of the season, a last ditch goal from Joao Pedro gave Brighton a 2-1 victory.

Our Manchester United vs Brighton Prediction

The bookmakers have United as strong favorites in this one, but it is hard to back them given their generally poor recent performances. In contrast, Brighton have been playing pretty well over the last month, despite failing to translate their performances into regular victories. In Joao Pedro, Kaoru Mitoma, Georginio Rutter and co, the Seagulls have more than enough quality to cause problems for a United backline that is low in confidence.As such, we think there is excellent value in backing the visitors here. Our prediction for Manchester United vs Brighton and Hove Albion is: Brighton to win. 

Prediction:

 

Brighton to win
