Brighton vs Manchester United Preview
This could be a decisive weekend for one of these clubs if results elsewhere go their way. A win for Brighton will ensure their place in the top flight if Swansea or Southampton lose while United can guarantee second place if they take all three points from the game and Spurs fail to win their game on Saturday.
Brighton midfielder Davy Propper returns from suspension and is expected to be among the starting eleven. Bruno Salter came off feeling is hamstring in last weekend’s 0-0 draw at Burnley, leaving Ezequiel Schelotto in line to start at right back. Chris Hughton has no other injury concerns save for long term absentees Steve Sidwell and Isaiah Brown who are no nearer to playing a part in the last three games.
Mystery surrounds the absence of Eric Bailly who was pulled from the Manchester United team that beat Arsenal last Sunday and with no reports emerging from Old Trafford, there are doubts about the centre back’s participation at Brighton. It could leave Jose Mourinho with a selection issue as he wouldn’t want to risk Phil Jones who is nursing a knock. Romelu Lukaku is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock against Arsenal while time is running out for Sergio Romero who is recovering from a knee injury.

Brighton vs Manchester United Prediction
Brighton might appear fairly safe with a five point lead on 18th placed Southampton with three games to play but the Seagulls have a tough final run in against Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool.
Chris Hughton’s men are scrambling for points having picked up three draws in the last four games in a winless run spanning the last seven matches in league and FA Cup. Their home form since the turn of the year looked like it could keep them up but they’ve only picked up two points from the last three at the Community Stadium.
United have won the last three away games in the league which includes a 3-2 win against Manchester City and a 2-0 win at Bournemouth on their trip to the South coast two weeks ago.
Manchester United can finish the season on a high with an upcoming FA Cup final. This game won’t be a distraction for a number players eager to stake a claim and we predict the visitors can break through Brighton’s well-drilled defence to take all three points.
