Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United kick off the weekend's Premier League action with this Friday night game at the AMEX Stadium. The home side earned a valuable point at Burnley last weekend and are five points clear of the relegation zone and with a superior goal difference. Their big problem is the fact their last three league games are against the two Manchester clubs and Liverpool aka the top three in the table. They come into this game in poor form with seven league and cup games without victory and only have two points from their last three home games. Survival does look likely though with some of the teams below them in equally poor form and certain to drop points as they face each other in relegation battles. It's still a nervous time for Brighton though who have done extremely well to keep out of deeper relegation trouble this season.

There's still plenty for Manchester United to play for in the dying weeks of the season. They are second in the table and four points from their last three games will clinch the runners-up spot, even less if Liverpool and Tottenham drop points and there's still the FA Cup to be won. United beat Arsenal at the weekend and have only one loss in their last seven league and cup matches. Away form is something they need to improve on if they want to get closer to Manchester City next season, but they have won their last three and scored at least twice in each of those matches. They recently beat Brighton in the FA Cup quarter final and can get another win here.
