THE PREDICTION
Man Utd can’t afford any further slipups from now until the end of the season if they realistically wish to catch local rivals Man Utd at the top of the Premier League. The Red Devils currently sit 14 points behind Pep Guardiola’s men, a gap that could be extended to 17 points by the time they kick off here against Brighton. The visitors head into this encounter on a high having secured successive Premier League victories heading into the international break, including a vital 3-0 triumph over fellow strugglers Newcastle. However, their defence is expected to be overwhelmed by a United side who have racked up 16 goals in their last four league games at Old Trafford. With the likes of Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings for the home team, who have beaten Brighton in their last five encounters in all competitions, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side should secure a relatively comfortable three points.
