    What's the story

    Manchester United, under Jose Mourinho, will be traveling to the Amex Stadium tonight to face Brighton.

    Mourinho will try to silence his critics with an emphatic win over the weaker opponents.

    Brighton had lost their first match to Watford and will give in everything to upset matters tonight.

    Here is our match preview for tonight's EPL encounter.

    Facts

    Some interesting facts to gear you up for the match

    Brighton have won just two times in their 19 games against United across all competitions.

    Since the initiation of the Premier League, the two teams have faced each other twice, winning once each.

    If United manage to win this match, Jose Mourinho will become the first Manchester United manager ever to win the first two games of the season thrice.
