Man Utd vs Brighton betting tips and summary

Both teams to score – good trend in H2Hs

Danny Welbeck to have over 0.5 shots on target – scored twice in his latest match

Bruno Fernandes to have over 0.5 shots on target – set-piece taker and key to United’s success

Following a shock win away at Anfield last weekend, Manchester United return to Old Trafford to host Brighton in the EPL’s Saturday early evening kick off.

After a poor start to the season, which featured three matches without victory – including an embarrassing loss to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup – United made it four wins from six English Premier League matches at Anfield.

A late header by defender Harry Maguire gave United a 2-1 win over bitter rivals Liverpool, as manager Ruben Amorim’s side recorded back-to-back EPL wins.

Their next challenge lies in the shape of Brighton, who extended their unbeaten league run to four last weekend.

A late Danny Welbeck winner saw off Nick Woltemade’s equaliser, in a 2-1 win over Newcastle, as manager Fabian Hurzeler’s side climbed up to 10th in the English Premier League table.

They now sit just one place and one point below Saturday’s hosts, with both sides knowing that a win could take them into the UEFA European places, should other results go in their favour.
