The historical head-to-head record between these two sides shows a surprisingly close contest. However, Brighton have held the upper hand over the past two to three years. Since 2023, the Seagulls have claimed four wins from the possible five in the Premier League, losing only once. More impressively, they are currently on a three-game winning streak at Old Trafford - United’s last home victory against Brighton came back in 2022.
Manchester United team overview
Manchester United’s start to the 2025/26 season has been inconsistent. While the overall table remains tightly packed, Rúben Amorim’s side have underperformed for much of the campaign until recent weeks. United began the season with three winless games across all competitions but have since improved, recording four wins in their last six Premier League outings. They remain unpredictable - as shown by a 3-1 defeat away to Brentford - but a statement win over Liverpool last weekend has reignited belief in a potential top-four challenge. Their only home defeat came against Arsenal, while Amorim’s men have won three of their four matches at Old Trafford.
Injury-wise, United will be constrained, with key defensive figure Lisandro Martínez ruled out.

Brighton team overview
Brighton have enjoyed a steadier start and arrive at Old Trafford arguably with more momentum than their hosts. Fabian Hürzeler’s side are unbeaten in five consecutive matches across all competitions, including two wins and two draws in the Premier League. After a slow opening to the season, Brighton have reached a phase of stability, losing just once in their last eight matches in all competitions since late August. Their away form, however, still leaves room for improvement (W1 D1 L2).
Adam Webster (ACL) and Kaoru Mitoma (niggles) remain unavailable for selection.

Prediction
Given Manchester United’s recent upturn - four wins in their last six - and Brighton’s tactical discipline coupled with their strong record in this fixture, Saturday’s encounter looks finely balanced. United have lost just once in their last four Premier League games, while Brighton are unbeaten in four, including an impressive 3-1 win away at Stamford Bridge. Both teams have demonstrated attacking quality but also defensive frailty, suggesting another open contest could be on the cards.
Prediction: Both teams to score.
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- BTTS occurred in 3 of their last 4 head-to-head meetings.
- BTTS occurred in Brighton’s 6 consecutive Premier League fixtures.
- Manchester United have scored in 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches.
