What TV channel is Man Utd v Brighton on? How to watch and live stream details for Premier League game

Manchester United are set to return to Premier League action this weekend as they host Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Old Trafford clash could see Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen make their competitive debut, while it is believed that Cristiano Ronaldo won’t start against the Seagulls.

The forward was absent for much of United’s pre-season campaign, only featuring for 45 minutes against Rayo Vallecano before leaving the match at half-time.

Meanwhile, Graham Potter will face a tough test without Yves Bissouma following his move to Tottenham, while Marc Cucurella may also be absent with him reportedly closing in on a switch to Chelsea.

Previous meetings

Manchester United’s last meeting with Brighton was certainly one to forget after they were hammered 4-0 on the south coast back in May.

Goals from Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard secured the shock victory for the Seagulls and became their biggest ever win in the top division, while it was United’s fifth consecutive away league defeat.

Prior to last season’s loss, the Red Devils had a much better record against Brighton, winning all of their seven previous meetings.

Their last clash at Old Trafford ended 2-0 to the home side, with Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes claiming the three points to take them to fourth place in the Premier League.
