Seagulls to stay tight

THE prices feel out of whack at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are the same odds – 8/13 – to beat Brighton (7.30pm) as they are to win away at Granada in the Europa League on Thursday.

Something’s wonky about that, though it’s hard to nail down what – and the head-to-head form is no help to us.

A reserves game in the Carabao Cup must be ignored, and that came after a total VAR fiasco in the Prem.

United won that reverse fixture 3-2 in one of the all-time Stockley Park shamble showers, with goals and penalties ruled in and out by the fistful, and armpits everywhere. The visitors nicked it with a Bruno Fernandes (above) spotkick awarded so long after the final whistle had been blown they’d taken the nets down.

Brighton’s ‘Big Six’ numbers since Christmas point at a tight one, and a 0-0 would suit. United’s scoring problems are pulling that way too.

Try NO ‘both teams to score’ at 10/11 (BetVic). Last time: Winners at 5/2 and 7/5
