Manchester United’s chances of a top four finish are very slim. They will look to keep them alive with a win away to Brighton in their next match. Hosts Brighton have dreams of playing in Europe, chances of which are also very slim. The home team heads to this game placed ninth with 44 points while United are sixth with 58 points. Brighton have been impressive in their recent matches; their only loss in the last six matches was against league leaders Manchester City. They have three wins in the last five matches and three clean sheets in six while they’ve only failed to score once in five matches, that was against City. Three times in the last five matches they have scored two or more goals and this is an area Manchester United will have to watch out for. Ahead of this game, Brighton thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 and a key man here was Leandro Trossard, who scored his third goal in five matches.

Manchester United have two matches only remaining and they played their last at Old Trafford for the season when they thrashed Brentford 3-0. They are hoping to play in the Champions League next season but all that is now out of their hands, being five points behind fourth placed Arsenal and having played two games more. United’s 3-0 win over Brentford was just their third win in the last 12 matches and their first clean sheet in 12 matches. They have conceded two or more goals in three of the last five and here they meet a charged Brighton, which may pose some problems, especially given United have no win in the last five away matches. United have also failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 10 away matches but they will be hoping they can extend their run against Brighton, a team they’ve beaten in each of the last seven meetings.
