Brighton host Manchester United at The American Express Community Stadium, Falmer, East Sussex on Saturday, Jan 2 at 1:30 PM in the Premier League.
Brighton come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Manchester United travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Brighton here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Manchester United, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Manchester United won 3–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Brighton look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Manchester United will make it uncomfortable. Brighton to win.
