BRIGHTON, England (Interstat) — Brighton & Hove Albion host Manchester United on Sunday, May 24, in a Premier League matchup that carries significant implications for both sides on the final day of the season.

The Seagulls enter the contest at Amex Stadium on the back of a 1-0 loss at Leeds United on May 17, a result that dented their hopes of securing a top-six finish. Brighton’s form has been erratic in recent weeks, with a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton on May 9 interrupted by a 3-1 defeat at Newcastle on May 2.

Manchester United, meanwhile, arrives with momentum after a 3-2 home victory over Nottingham Forest on May 17. The win extended the Red Devils’ recent run that includes a 3-2 triumph at Liverpool on May 3 and a 0-0 draw at Sunderland on May 9. Manager Erik ten Hag’s side is battling to secure a Champions League berth.

The teams split their two most recent head-to-head meetings this season. Brighton earned a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford on Jan. 11, but Manchester United responded with a 4-2 home win on Oct. 25.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, though the stakes could push the result either way.

For Brighton, manager Roberto De Zerbi will rely on forward Evan Ferguson to break through a Manchester United defense that has been vulnerable at times on the road. The hosts rank near the middle of the table in home goals scored but have shown the ability to produce big results against top opposition, as evidenced by their 3-0 shutout of Chelsea on April 21.

Manchester United counters with a potent attacking unit led by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. The visitors have won six of their last 10 league matches, though inconsistencies remain. A 2-1 loss at Sunderland on April 25 and a 1-1 draw at Arsenal on April 26 underscore the challenges United has faced in maintaining form.

Injury concerns could factor into team selection. Brighton has been without several key players in recent weeks, while Manchester United’s depth will be tested if any of its regular starters are unavailable.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time at the 31,800-seat stadium on the south coast. The match will be broadcast domestically on Sky Sports.

With both teams still eyeing European qualification, Sunday’s fixture promises to be a competitive finale to a closely contested Premier League season.
