Brighton are likely to employ their trademark possession-based style, focusing on controlling the midfield and using their tactical flexibility to create goalscoring opportunities. Brighton’s ability to fluidly switch formations during the match could pose a major challenge for Manchester United, testing their defensive adaptability.

Brighton’s pre-season preparations had already shown that this year they would once again be the team that scared the entire Premier League two years ago by winning on the best fields and against the best rivals. In addition, the winning start to the first matchday gives them wings to believe in their chances of going far another year.

Manchester United will likely approach the match with an aggressive mindset, looking to exploit Brighton’s open play with quick counter-attacks. United’s strategy could be to press high to win back possession quickly and use the speed of their wingers to stretch the Brighton defence. Key to United’s success will be the performance of their midfield, orchestrating play and providing service to their forwards.

The good start to the season with the first victory has certainly helped the club and especially the coach to trust in the squad and that the plan is going according to plan. Once the injuries disappear, they can be a very serious team to be taken into account both in Europe and in the Premier League.

Brighton: Steele, Veltman, Van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Hinshelwood, Minteh, Milner, Joao Pedro, Mats Wieffer, Mitoma and Danny Welbeck.

Manchester United: Onana, Mazraoui, Lisandro Martínez, De Ligt, Dalot, Mainoo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, Rashford and Mount.

Brighton 2-2 Manchester United. Both teams arrive after winning the first round, and with Brighton playing at home, the most lik
ely outcome is a draw where United’s superiority is undermined by the fact that they are playing away from home.
