Manchester United Women are back in action in the Women’s Super League on Sunday afternoon, facing Brighton & Hove Albion at the Broadfield Stadium.
United defeated Everton 4-1 in their last league fixture, extending their unbeaten start to the campaign.
By contrast, Brighton lost by a solitary goal at Arsenal in their previous league game.
Match preview
Man United are the favourites for this clash, given their blistering start to the season. Only Chelsea and Manchester City have gathered more points than United this term.
United have also been impeccable on the road, winning all three games so far convincingly, offering more encouragement going into this fixture.
Brighton are seven points adrift of United but have yet to taste a defeat on their patch this term, making this clash tricky for the Red Devils.
They have struggled for goals in the league, scoring just six goals in six games but have a decent defensive record, conceding five times.
While the south-coast club’s home form could make this clash keenly contested, United should be able to secure another away victory.
Head-to-head
United have lost just once to Brighton, won 12 times, while the other three encounters ended in draws.
Team news
For United, Jess Park is now fit after withdrawing from England’s squad due to a delayed concussion suffered during the win over Everton. However, Millie Turner remains sidelined.
Brighton will be without Arsenal loanee Michelle Agyemang after she suffered a knee injury during the international break.
Where to watch
The encounter will be televised on Sky Sports in the UK, while there will be Radio commentary on ManUtd.com and the United App.
