Manchester United
Manchester United will be wanting a better result here after the 1-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Crystal Palace.
In that match, Manchester United had 62% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. On the other side, Crystal Palace had 6 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Wilfried Zaha (37′) scored for Crystal Palace.
It’s not been often in recent times where Manchester United have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Manchester United have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 13 goals in the process.
Team News: Manchester United
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Manchester United gaffer Erik ten Hag to be concerned about from a near full-strength group. Anthony Martial (Hamstring Injury) won’t play.
It seems likely that The Red Devils may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game featuring David De Gea, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Fred, Scott McTominay, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton head into the meeting after a 3-1 Premier League win against West Ham United in their last fixture.
In that match, Brighton & Hove Albion managed 50% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Brighton & Hove Albion, the scorers were Joël Veltman (50′), Pascal Groß (80′) and Danny Welbeck (92′). At the other end, West Ham United got 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Michail Antonio (40′) scored for West Ham United.
In a total of 5 of the previous 6 games involving Brighton & Hove Albion, at least three goals have been hit. The average goals scored per match in that time is 3.33, with the average number of goals for Brighton & Hove Albion standing at 2.17. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.
Team News: Brighton
Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Brighton boss Graham Potter to contend with. Jakub Moder (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be in action.
We are inclined to think that The Seagulls appear most likely to begin the game with a 10 formation with a starting lineup of Robert Sanchez, Joel Veltman, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster, Solly March, Leandro Trossard, Pascal Gross, Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo, Enock Mwepu and Danny Welbeck.
Prediction
Our assessment is that Manchester United should create the chances to score more than once when they line up against Brighton & Hove Albion, who may well struggle to find the back of the net.
We can therefore see a 2-0 winning margin for Manchester United when all’s said and done.
