The Premier League season kicks off with an intriguing clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United at the Falmer Stadium, also known as the American Express Stadium. Brighton, the current table toppers after a resounding 3-0 victory over Everton in their opening match, will be eager to continue their strong start against a formidable opponent.
Manchester United, under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag, secured a narrow victory against Fulham in their opening game. However, the performance was far from convincing, leaving fans and critics alike questioning the team’s ability to challenge for top honors this season. Ten Hag will be looking for a more dominant performance from his side, particularly with several key players sidelined due to injury. Among those missing are Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Victor Lindelof. The manager is hoping for a quick recovery for Lindelof, who is dealing with a toe injury.
The pressure is mounting on ten Hag to deliver results, especially given the team’s disappointing eighth-place finish in the previous season. This match presents an opportunity for United to make a statement and demonstrate their intent for the season ahead.
The match will kick off at 12:30 PM BST (5:00 IST) and can be viewed live on Star Sports Network and Disney+ Hotstar in India. In the UK, TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate will be broadcasting the match live, with live streaming available on the Discovery+ app.
