Opta predicts final Premier League table - here's where Brighton and Man United finish after…

Brighton travel to Manchester United this Saturday and both teams are buoyed by morale boosting victories last time out.

The Seagulls were impressive as Danny Welbeck netted a brace in their 2-1 Premier League win against Newcastle United at the Amex Stadium last Saturday. The former United striker will no doubt be keen to hit the target once more against former club.

Ruben Amorim's team though will be on a high as well following their memorable win against champions Liverpool at Anfield. The three points saw them leap above Brighton in the table as the Red Devils have 13 points from eight matches, compared to Brighton's 12 points.

Hurzeler's men will travel with nothing to fear knowing that they have already beaten the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle this season.

So where can both teams realistically expect to finish? The stats experts at Opta have crunched the numbers...
