The Premier League returns following the international break this weekend. A standout fixture comes from Old Trafford, as Manchester United welcome Brighton & Hove Albion.

Before Betting On Man United vs Brighton

A huge match is set for Old Trafford this weekend, as Manchester United look to bounce back following defeat against Arsenal before the international break. However, things don’t seem right at the Theatre of Dreams at present, with a number of off-field stories threatening to derail United’s season at this very early stage.

Performances on the field have also been lacklustre to this point, as the Red Devils have won just two of their opening four matches. Over that period, United have allowed seven goals and have netted just five times. But, Erik ten Hag will be confident of turning the tide back in his favor this weekend, as Rasmus Hojlund and Sofyan Amrabat are both in line to make their first starts this weekend.

Brighton haven’t missed a beat this term after an impressive campaign last term. The Seagulls already sit sixth in the Premier League standings, as they have won three of their opening four matches. A victory this weekend would likely take them into the top four in the standings.

Brighton were excellent in their most recent match before the international break, as they recorded a hard-fought 3-1 win over Newcastle United at the Amex. Evan Ferguson was in excellent form on that day, as the highly-rated striker scored his first professional hat-trick.

United have to respond this weekend after a really disappointing start to the new season. However, Brighton landed an opening day victory at the Theatre of Dreams last term, and we think that they are good value to repeat that feat on Saturday.
