Manchester United are looking to make it three wins from three in the Premier League for the first time since 2023 as they take on Brighton & Hove Albion.
- Date: 25/10/2025
- Kick-off: 5:30pm
- Location: Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United sit 9th in the Premier League with 13 points from 8 games. Performances this season have been far from convincing, but they enter this game off the back of two successive wins, a 2-0 win over Sunderland and a 2-1 win over Liverpool, which has given fans hope that a corner may have been turned.
Excitement would still be ill-advised for fans of the Red Devils as they've been in this position before, and there isn't a great deal in the team's showings to suggest that the structural issues have been resolved. Their last five games have seen three wins and two losses, with over 2.5 goals being scored in four of those five games - while BTTS has occurred in three of them.
If Man United can win three league games on the bounce, belief will certainly start to grow but they need to back up their recent results with a more complete team performance.
Brighton enter this game 10th in the Premier League with 12 points from eight games. The Seagulls are enjoying a solid campaign and come into this game in particularly good form, losing only one of their last eight games in all competitions, winning five of those. Their most recent game was a 2-1 win over Newcastle thanks to a Danny Welbeck brace, sealing a very good result and performance.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in seven of their last eight games, while BTTS has occurred in six of their last eight, so a good game from a spectator standpoint is well on the cards here.
The Seagulls will also take comfort from their excellent recent record against Manchester United, where they've won four of the last five head-to-head meetings between the two teams. This fixture last season ended 3-1 to Brighton, and all things considered, we fancy them to pick up the win once again.
Man United 1-2 Brighton
