The games continue to come thick and fast and next Tuesday evening sees a potentially intriguing match between Brighton and Manchester United (kick off 8.15pm).
Brighton have had a bit of a resurgence lately, capped off with an impressive 2-1 win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last week. That victory has given them a much-needed boost as they battle to avoid relegation.
Manchester United is still in the hunt for those Champions League places and a 1-1 draw against Spurs last week was a respectable result after a decent display in London.
Both these sides have different targets this season but this fixture is certainly one where there is real importance for both sides as they bid to finish the season strongly.
Brighton vs Manchester United Predictions
The Seagulls have had two excellent results recently, with that win at Arsenal being followed up by a very creditable 0-0 draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Brighton were tipped heavily to go down at the start of this campaign but they look to be pulling away from danger just at the right time and their performances against the Gunners and the Foxes have provided a welcome tonic ahead of another tough game against a side with European aspirations.
United have bounced back well after a slow winter and come into this game in very good form. With key players back from injury, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping his side have enough in the locker to cement a European place.
With that in mind, and despite Brighton’s good run, we think United will just edge this one but it will be a very close battle.
