Premier League weekend round-up

José Mourinho’s Manchester United will be looking to build on their victory against Leicester City on the opening day of the season when they visit Brighton this Sunday.

The Red Devils were made to work hard for their 2-1 victory against the Foxes, but goals from captain Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw ensured the Old Trafford faithful were made to forget about the club’s disappointing summer activity.

Mourinho will be looking to mount a more serious title challenge this season, and Brighton’s victory against his side at the Amex in May last season will be enough of a warning to the Portuguese.

Chris Hughton’s side have problems of their own however after their opening-weekend defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road after two goals from Roberto Pereyra. The 59-year-old will be desperate for his new summer additions to click soon, including record signing Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Follow all of the latest below.

What time does it start?

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester United kicks off at 4PM (BST).

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports’ Premier League and Main Event channels. Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the game online via the SkyGo app. Highlights will be shown at 10:30PM on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Fred: The Brazilian appeared to lash out at Leicester City’s Demarai Gray in the first half and opinion was split on whether the midfielder should have faced further punishment. The 25-year-old represents the major piece of business for the Red Devils this summer and will need to put in more level-headed performances if his partnership with Paul Pogba is to flourish.

Stat…

4: Brighton were undefeated in all four of their home Premier League matches on a Sunday last season, while United lost four of their five away matches on a Sunday last campaign.

Remember when…

The most famous encounter between these two sides came in the 1983 FA Cup, when the sides faced off at Wembley Stadium in the final. The final ended in a 2-2 draw, and included this fantastic curling effort from the late Ray Wilkins which put United into a 2-1 lead with 18 minutes remaining. Brighton’s Gary Stevens scored three minutes from time to set up a replay five days later, which saw the Red Devils run out 4-0 winners after a Bryan Robson double.

Player to watch…

Paul Pogba: The World Cup winner is reportedly being considered as permanent captain by José Mourinho, and the 25-year-old led by example against Leicester, putting in an excellent display less than a month after experiencing World Cup glory and capping it off with a calm, collected spot kick.

United sending players forward for one last foray...

FULL TIME! Brighton 3-2 Manchester United 

Brighton deservedly secure the three points with a first half performance that left the United defenders running scared. 

Murray, Gross and co. tore Lindelof and Bailly to shreds throughout the majority in the first half and they didn't attack much better, either. 

It is the first significant defeat for one of the so called 'big boys' in the Premier League this season and following City's 6-1 romp over Huddersfield earlier this afternoon, this result looks even more sensational. 

Plenty to worry about for Jose Mourinho. 

[19 August 2018 18:06 · Nathan Jacobs]

That's it for this afternoon folks! 

It's been a cracking Super Sunday with 16 goals scored in 3 games. 

Manchester City have somehow improved on their start from last season, two wins from two and eight goals scored following their 6-1 demolition of Huddersfield. 

Watford have also completed back-to-back wins after their 3-1 victory away at Turf Moor, their first win there since 2004. 

And the afternoon was completed with Manchester United succumbing at Brighton for the third time in succession.
