Manchester United will travel to the Amex Stadium this Saturday for a highly anticipated Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.
This lunchtime kick-off marks United’s first away game of the 2024/25 season, following their successful start with a 1-0 win over Fulham. Brighton also kicked off their campaign with an impressive 3-0 victory over Everton, setting the stage for an exciting encounter.
Erik ten Hag's Red Devils will be looking to build momentum after Joshua Zirkzee’s late winner secured all three points against Fulham on Match Day 1. New signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui made solid debuts, and fans will be keen to see if Zirkzee can continue his form. Despite some injury concerns, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Rasmus Hojlund all sidelined, United’s squad remains strong.
Brighton, under the management of Fabian Hurzeler, have also seen new faces bolster their ranks this season. Solly March is a long-term absentee, and the fitness of other key players remains in question. However, the Seagulls have proven they can compete, with former United forward Danny Welbeck, and Kaoru Mitoma among those who will pose a threat.
United have historically had the upper hand in this fixture, winning 20 of the 33 previous meetings. However, Brighton’s form and the home advantage of the Amex Stadium could make for a closely contested match. Fans can catch the action live on TNT Sports, with extensive coverage starting from 11:00 BST.
With both teams eager to maintain their winning start, Saturday's showdown promises to deliver high drama and quality football.
