Manchester United will be aiming for a third straight Premier League win when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday evening. The Red Devils’ confidence is growing after a difficult start to the season under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Meanwhile, Brighton are arriving in good form and only one point behind Man United in the table. They’ve beaten the Red Devils 3-1 in their last meeting. The Seagulls will now look to extend their remarkable winning run at Old Trafford to four consecutive games.

Ruben Amorim’s side are finally finding consistency after wins against Sunderland and Liverpool. The 2-1 win at Anfield was particularly significant. It marked United’s first win at Anfield since 2016. Despite sitting ninth in the table, they are just three points behind rivals Manchester City in second place.
Lisandro Martínez remains out with a knee injury. Meanwhile Harry Maguire and Mason Mount are doubtful as well. Leny Yoro could start alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw in defence. Benjamin Sesko may return to the starting XI after being benched last weekend. He should be supported by Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha in attack.

Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton continue to balance exciting attacking displays with defensive frailties. They’ve conceded in 19 of their last 20 league games. The Seagulls have alternated between wins and draws recently. This includes a 2-1 win against Newcastle, inspired by a Danny Welbeck brace.
Solly March, Adam Webster, and Jack Hinshelwood remain out. Meanwhile Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman, and Brajan Gruda face late fitness tests. Diego Gomez has recovered from a hip issue. Carlos Baleba could start in midfield. Up front, Welbeck may again lead the line alongside Georginio Rutter and Yankuba Minteh.
The odds leaning toward under 3.5 goals appear justifiable given the recent patterns between Manchester United and Brighton’s games. On average, their head-to-head matches have produced around 2.8 total goals. The Red Devils arrive in good home form having secured three straight league wins at Old Trafford.
This indicates a more controlled performance rather than wild high-scoring matches. Meanwhile, Brighton, despite showing attacking threat, have kept just one clean sheet in their last 20 top-flight outings. This blend of defensive struggle with moderate attacking output suggests the game may not break the four-goal mark.
A bet on forward Benjamin Sesko scoring anytime offers value at +115. Although a new signing at United, his record before joining was impressive. He registered 39 goals in 87 appearances for his previous club. His arrival has added a fresh attacking dimension for United.
Additionally, Brighton are addressing vulnerability at the back. Hence, there is a credible scenario where Sesko could make a decisive impact. United may need a reliable goal-source. So, betting on him to find the net is a strong angle.
Captain Bruno Fernandes remains central to United’s creative output and consistently delivers goal contributions. He registered 8 goals and 10 assists in the 2024-25 season, making him Man United’s top supplier. His track record of orchestrating and finishing chances makes his involvement in at least one goal in this match a logical expectation. At odds of -120, this appears a sensible selection given his influence and Man United’s current attacking intent.
| Picks | Moneyline |
| Enzo Fernandez to score first | +650 |
| Moises Caicedo to score anytime | +1000 |
| Pedro Neto to assist anytime | +280 |
| Joao Pedro to either score or assist | -150 |
| Reinildo Mandava to see a card | +165 |
| Nordi Mukiele to Commit One Foul or More | -230 |

Manchester United have followed back-to-back home wins with improved structure and purpose under manager Ruben Amorim. Brighton, though dangerous and able to snatch results, remain liable at the back. They have shown fighting performances against top opposition. Even so, only one clean sheet in 20 matches highlights vulnerability.
While Brighton hold a favourable recent record at Old Trafford, Man United’s current upward momentum suggests they can edge this encounter. With the Red Devils likely to control proceedings and push for a goal, and the Seagulls capable of a reply on the counter or set-piece, a 2-1 United win seems justified.
The Manchester United vs Brighton Premier League clash is on October 25, 2025, at the Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester, England.
Manchester United are favorites to win with a moneyline at -105, to draw at ++280 and for Brighton to win at +250.
Benjamin Sesko to score anytime: +155
Bryan Mbeumo to assist anytime: +270
Bruno Fernandes to either score or assist: -110
