Sutton’s predictions: Man Utd v Brighton

My son is the assistant manager of my fantasy team – I am Brian Clough, and he is Peter Taylor – and he told me to get Amad Diallo in this week.

Guess what? I overruled him, and obviously Diallo went on to score a hat-trick for Manchester United against Southampton.

It really was a case of United finding a way to win so late on in that game, because their performance for most of it had not been great, especially in the first half.

Being able to do that is important, so fair play to Diallo and manager Ruben Amorim, but it does not mean United have cracked it, or turned a corner.

I must say this every week about them, but they remain a work in progress and there are going to be lot more bumps in the road for Amorim.

This might be one of them, because Brighton are much tougher opposition than Saints were.

The Seagulls got back to winning ways in the league against Ipswich on Thursday. I fancy them here more than I do United, but I am going to go with a draw.

As I mentioned earlier, United have got a habit of getting something out of games, and this time they will find a way of getting a draw.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-1
