Manchester United and Brighton will lock horn today
It’s clear now that the Seagulls look good for a European finish
Just as they hed into the final month of the season.
Then while there won’t be a Wembley appearance next month to cap off a great season
Again De Zerbi and co. can claim revenge for their semi-final loss to United with a win this week.
We know Man united will be looking to take all three points today
Don’t forget that Brighton put in a brilliant performance on Saturday as they crushed Wolves 6-0, including four strikes in the first 40 minutes of the game. That thumping win has the Seagulls eighth, but they have the chance to gain some ground with games in hand on their rivals.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side can probably give up any Champions League dreams having fallen 11 points shy of fourth-placed Man United, but they’re just four points shy of fifth having played two fewer games than Liverpool.
Its a Tough test for Ten Hag
Man United have come a long way since their opening day defeat at the hands of Brighton, but the Red Devils have been plagued by issues on the road all season long.
Now the next step for them is to pull off a big away win, which the Dutchman has failed to deliver since taking charge.
Then knw that United have won just one of their last 13 Premier League away games against sides starting the day in the top half of the table, losing nine.
Surely that one victory was against newly promoted Fulham in November. The Red Devils have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these 13 games since beating Spurs 3-0 in October 2021.
