Manchester United host their ‘landlords’, Brighton, at Old Trafford on Sunday in what promises to be a thrilling contest as has been symptomatic of Sunday afternoon EPL clashes.

Both teams aim to sustain their recent form, with United seeking to take back their home from Brighton with a win or a draw while the visitors try to make it three straight wins at Old Trafford in the EPL.

🔴Man United Aim Take Back Home from Brighton| Home Win = 2.17💵

Manchester United come into this fixture on the back of a dramatic 3-1 comeback victory over Southampton.

Amad Diallo’s stunning hat-trick propelled the Red Devils to 12th in the league, and they will now aim for three consecutive wins for the first time under Ruben Amorim.

Seeing as their opponents on Sunday have beaten Man United in their last two league meetings at Old Trafford, and United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches, the Portuguese will have to bring his a game.

🔵Brighton Target Another Famous Win at Old Trafford | Away Win = 3.42💵

Brighton have been a thorn in Manchester United’s side, winning five of their last seven meetings, including two consecutive victories at Old Trafford.

The Seagulls head into this match unbeaten in their last five league games and full of confidence after a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town last Thursday.

With Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter leading the charge, Brighton’s clinical away form could prove decisive. They have scored in all 11 of their away matches this season, making them dangerous visitors.

🔑Key Players & Team News📰:

United welcome back Diogo Dalot from suspension, providing more stability in defence. Amad Diallo, after his hat-trick heroics, will likely lead the attack, while injuries to Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, and Mason Mount keep them out of contention.

Brighton, meanwhile, may miss Joao Pedro and Evan Ferguson due to fitness concerns. Former Red Devil Danny Welbeck could start, offering an experienced presence in attack alongside Mitoma and Rutter.

New Spanish Super Cup champions, Barcelona, will battle a stubborn Real Betis side in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 on Wednesday, January 15, for a place in the quarter-finals.

The Blaugrana, record winners of the competition with 31 titles, aim to take another step toward reclaiming the trophy they last won in 2021. Meanwhile, Betis, the 2022 champions, hope to capitalize on Barcelona's recent inconsistencies.

🔴Barcelona Look to Get Back at Betis For Laliga Draw | Home Win = 1.25💵

Barcelona enters this clash with memories of their 2-2 draw with Real Betis fresh in memory and a little revenge to look forward to. Hansi Flick’s lads, fresh from their triumph in Saudi Arabia, would want to follow the great example they set against a Real Madrid team in the final of the Super Cup.

Having been a while since they lifted their favourite trophy, aside from the Spanish Super Cup, the Copa del Rey in 2021, Barcelona would want to get back to lifting it but to get the chance to, they would have to overcome this Betis side.

This shouldn’t be too big an ask, especially with the likes of Robert Lewandowski, who scored twice in their 4-0 Copa del Rey win over Barbastro, Raphina and Yamal in the form they are in now.

🟢Real Betis Aim to Exploit Barcelona's Woes | Away Win = 9.20💵

Real Betis arrives in Catalonia on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Huesca in the previous round of the Copa del Rey, with Isco scoring the decisive goal. However, their last league game, which ended in a 1-0 defeat to Valladolid, highlights their inconsistency.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side has managed just one win in their last eight La Liga games and averages only 1.1 goals per match. However, among those eight games is a 2-2 draw against Barcelona and that should give them enough vigour coming into this one.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Hansi Flick’s men will be without key players Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Inigo Martinez, with the latter sidelined after picking up a hamstring injury in the Super Cup final.

Barcelona will miss Szczesny, who is suspended, with Inaki Pena stepping in as the likely replacement. Lewandowski’s goal-scoring prowess and Raphinha’s form will be central to Barcelona’s attack.

Betis, on the other hand, will travel without Giovani Lo Celso, Hector Bellerin, and Chimy Avila, all sidelined due to injuries. Isco’s creativity and Vitor Roque’s potential return to the starting lineup could prove decisive for Betis.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds🔢 | Draw = 6.20💵

⚽Barcelona has won five of their eight La Liga home games this season, scoring 20 goals. Betis has failed to win any of their last six encounters with Barcelona, losing five times. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 2.08

This game promises to be a fascinating clash of styles as Barcelona seeks to reassert dominance on home turf while Betis looks to exploit their vulnerabilities.
