Manchester United vs Brighton predictions: Chris Sutton on Premier League game

United were lucky with their first goal against Liverpool last week because the game should have been stopped, and we’ve all seen the issues with the Liverpool backline this season too.
So, while I understand why any win for United against their rivals at Anfield is a massive result, it doesn’t mean they have cracked it and turned a corner.
They have just managed back-to-back league wins for the first time since Ruben Amorim took charge last November, but I am not looking at them and thinking they will make it a hat-trick on Saturday.
Brighton striker Danny Welbeck impressed me when he came on the Monday Night Club this week and I am backing his boys here.
The Seagulls are always bold under Fabian Hurzeler and they will be fearless at Old Trafford too. I am backing Welbeck to get one of their goals, and haunt his former club.
It is down to United to prove me wrong, and show everyone they do have the consistency they have been lacking, and that may well be part of Amorim’s team talk.
Sutton’s prediction: 1-2
