Brighton host Manchester United in the final game of the Premier League season on Sunday.
It has been an underwhelming campaign for both sides as Brighton have failed to qualify for Europe, while Man Utd have failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Brighton current form
The players have been on Brighton Beach for a while now as their recent form has been shocking, with just one win recorded in their last nine, which came against Aston Villa.
They have lost five of those matches versus Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Bournemouth and Chelsea.
Man Utd current form
United are set for their worst ever Premier League finish and it remains to be seen whether Erik ten Hag will be in charge next season.
The Red Devils got back to winning ways during the week by defeating Newcastle 3-2, but prior to that they lost against Crystal Palace and Arsenal and drew against Burnley.
They haven’t kept a clean sheet in nine league games.
It’s unlikely that any of Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, Pervis Estupinan, James Milner, Evan Ferguson and Jan Paul van Hecke will feature for Brighton in the final game.
Scott McTominay, Lisandro Martinez, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford all shook off injuries to feature in the Newcastle win, but Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial, Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are all missing for Man Utd.
Ten Hag is hopeful that Maguire and Shaw might return for the FA Cup Final.
In the continued absence of Ferguson, Joao Pedro has contributed nine goals to Brighton’s season.
There are rumours that Bruno Fernandes could leave Man Utd this summer and if that happens he’ll want to depart with a bang.
Scoreline Prediction
Brighton have been poor in 2024, while Man Utd’s focus will undoubtedly be on the FA Cup final, so a draw seems likely here.
