- 무승부 또는 브라이튼 승리
- 두 팀 모두 득점
Manchester United return to Old Trafford this weekend buoyed by their biggest result yet under Ruben Amorim — a long-awaited 2-1 victory away at Liverpool. The win has lifted the mood among supporters and given the Red Devils renewed optimism, but they face a tricky follow-up test against a Brighton side that has made a habit of frustrating them in recent seasons.
The dark clouds that had loomed over Old Trafford for much of the season briefly cleared on Sunday as Manchester United stunned Liverpool at Anfield. It was their first victory there in nearly ten years and marked Amorim’s second successive Premier League win — the first time the Portuguese boss has achieved back-to-back league victories since taking charge.
United now have an opportunity to build real momentum. Their home form has improved in recent weeks, with three straight Premier League wins at Old Trafford, each time scoring at least twice. The performances have been far from flawless, but there are signs of a more cohesive attacking identity beginning to take shape. Amorim will hope that newfound confidence translates into a fourth consecutive home success.
Brighton, meanwhile, arrive in Manchester just one point behind their hosts following a 2-1 win over Newcastle last weekend. Fabian Hurzeler’s side are unbeaten in four league matches (W2, D2), showing resilience even as their performances have dipped slightly from the heights of previous seasons. Their tally of 12 points from eight games marks their lowest return at this stage since 2020/21, though it also highlights the lofty standards they’ve set in recent years.
The Seagulls’ away record remains a concern, having won just once in four league trips this term (D1, L2). Their defence has been particularly leaky — Brighton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 20 Premier League fixtures — and that vulnerability could be tested by an increasingly fluid United attack. Still, their ability to score goals and dominate possession means they’ll back themselves to challenge Amorim’s side in their own backyard.
헤드 투 헤드 기록
Recent history in this fixture makes for grim reading for United fans. Brighton have won on each of their last three Premier League visits to Old Trafford — a record that few visiting sides can boast. More broadly, the Seagulls have claimed six victories from their last seven league meetings with Manchester United (L1), doubling their total number of wins (three) from the previous 17 encounters between the sides.
In short, Brighton have consistently been a thorn in United’s side in recent years, and they’ll travel north with genuine belief that they can extend that dominance.

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players
브라이언 음베우모 was the hero at Anfield, opening the scoring in United’s statement win over Liverpool.
The Cameroonian forward seems to relish these high-stakes games and could be a key figure again here. Encouragingly for United, Mbeumo has been directly involved in six goals across his last four starts against Brighton (three goals, three assists), making him a proven tormentor of the Seagulls’ defence.
For Brighton, the familiar narrative of a former Red Devil returning to haunt his old club could surface once again. 대니 웰벡 has a knack for scoring against United, with goal involvements in four of the last five seasons when facing them (three goals, one assist).
Three of those contributions have come at Old Trafford, underlining his tendency to rise to the occasion in this fixture.
In terms of team news, Lisandro Martínez remains United’s only confirmed absentee, with Amorim otherwise having a full squad to choose from. Brighton’s injury concerns lie with Brajan Gruda, Joel Veltman, and Jack Hinshelwood, all of whom face late fitness tests but could miss the trip north.
Tactical Overview
Ruben Amorim has been gradually embedding his preferred 3-4-3 system at United, one that emphasises width, pressing, and fluid attacking movement. The Red Devils’ improved structure has been most evident at home, where their wing-backs and forwards have combined effectively to stretch opponents. Expect Amorim to stick with the same aggressive approach that worked so well at Anfield, pressing Brighton high and seeking to disrupt their rhythm early.
Brighton are unlikely to abandon their trademark possession-based style, even against top-six opposition. Their intricate build-up play remains a key feature, though recent defensive lapses have often stemmed from taking unnecessary risks at the back. The battle in midfield — particularly between Casemiro and Pascal Groß — will be decisive, as both teams rely heavily on controlling tempo through that area.
베팅 분석
Despite United’s morale-boosting win over Liverpool, history warns against assuming a sustained turnaround. The Red Devils have often followed big results with underwhelming performances, and Brighton’s record in this fixture makes them dangerous underdogs.
Backing Brighton to win offers attractive value given their dominance in recent head-to-heads and United’s defensive inconsistencies. Both teams to score also looks a strong bet, as Brighton’s attacking approach often ensures open, end-to-end games, while United have scored in each of their last six home matches.
Prediction: Manchester United 1–2 Brighton
Manchester United’s post-Anfield momentum may falter here, with Brighton’s disciplined pressing and sharp transitions likely to cause problems for Amorim’s side. The Seagulls have made a habit of upsetting United at Old Trafford, and they could well repeat the trick once again to extend their unbeaten run.
