JAKARTA Manchester United (MU) will host Brighton & Hove Albion in the fifth week of the English Premier League 2023/2024. The match will take place at Old Trafford Stadium, Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 21.00 WIB.

MU is not yet in the best form of the season. Currently, the Red Devils are in 11th place in the standings with six points. The result of two home wins and two away defeats from four matches.

One of the two defeats was experienced by Erik ten Hag's squad before the international break against Arsenal's rivals. Two goals were late for Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus in extra time to differentiate this match.

Having lost two matches is clearly homework for Erik ten Hag. What's more, the opponent they will be Jamu comes in a better position in the standings.

Apart from marking a comeback in the English Premier League, the win against Brighton was really needed by Manchester United before they face Bayern Munich in the European Champions League in the middle of tomorrow's week.

Statistically, MU is quite confident in playing in front of the public itself. The reason is, they have never lost in their last 32 matches at Old Trafford in all competitions.

In the midst of the slump experienced by MU, Brighton managed to make a positive start to this new season. They managed to win three of their four opening games in the league and scored 12 goals.

The result put The Seagulls in the top six of the standings. They are only three points away from leaders as well as defending champions Manchester City.

For this reason, the squad made by Roberto De Zerbi will clearly seek their fourth successive victory against the Red Devils. The results they can get are not impossible.

The Seagulls travel to Old Trafford after winning four and losing four in their last eight away games in the Premier League. Two of the four wins were won against Chelsea and Arsenal.
