Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United Preview

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Amex Stadium

Date: 4th May 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

This season will end a successful one if Brighton can get three more points.

They are currently with 37 points and they know a single win from their remaining three fixtures would see them reach the magical 40 points mark.

They are impressively 14th in the league table and five points away from relegation trouble, however, they face Manchester City and Liverpool away before their season comes to an end, so they will not want to waste the chance of getting a home win here.

Last weekend’s draw makes it seven games without victory for Brighton, however, they seem to do better when they play at home.

They have lost only four at home all season and they have won four of their last seven home games in all competitions.

Manchester United have now all but confirmed the second position as theirs after their 2-1 win over Arsenal last weekend.

The Red Devils had defeated Tottenham the previous weekend to give themselves a chance of winning the FA Cup this season.

They come into this game, five points ahead of Liverpool, with a game in hand.

They have a decent away record this season, even though they have lost two of their last five on the road.

They seem to struggle defensively away from home as they have kept only three clean sheets in their last 13 away games, conceding seven goals in their last five away league games.
